Issue with voice recordings on my iPhone

I have been getting annoyed with this feature for a while now too and just finally figured out how to shut it off. I think it was the ‘Raise to listen’ option in your message settings. If you read the details, it says it will raise to listen and let you reply.

Settings > General > Messages - scroll to the bottom, and it should be the second toggle button from the bottom.

This happens to me all the time, I figured out it's when I brush the screen of my phone across my clothing while the text screen is open, like when I'm going to put it in my pocket. Try rubbing it on your sleeve or your pants leg while the text screen is open and see what I mean.

I literally know exactly what you’re talking about!! This happens to me allll the time when my texts are open but on accident. I’ve tried a million things to do it on purpose and I can’t ever get it! Just tried googling it and YouTubing it and it just says to press the plus button then audio record. Ever since the second to last update this has gone on and it’s annoying lol

Bits of a conversation with a friend who was with me at the time were recorded. When a text message from someone else came through it contained bits of the conversation I had just had with my friend and their message wasn’t there. How does this happen?

Be Aware of Gestures:

• In the Messages app, long-pressing the microphone icon usually starts voice recording.
• Avoid unintentional long presses or swipes near the microphone icon.

If you accidentally send a voice recording, you have a few seconds to tap "Undo Send" to prevent it from being delivered.

Sometimes, certain settings in the Accessibility menu can inadvertently trigger voice recording. Ensure that there are no voice-related shortcuts or gestures enabled.

The exact same thing just happened to me!
