Audio messages, introduced in iOS 8, allow you to send short voice clips via iMessage. They're incredibly easy to use and receive which should make them a popular option when folks are unable to text. However, they can take up far more storage space than regular text-based messages. That's why you're able to edit automatic expiration settings for audio messages to suit your needs.
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad running iOS 8 or higher.
- Tap on Messages.
- Tap on Expire under the Audio Messages section.
- Choose either Never or After 2 Minutes.
That's it! If you frequently find yourself scrounging for storage space on your iPhone or iPad, it's probably a good idea to set them to expire after 2 minutes. Don't worry, that means 2 minutes after you listen to them, not 2 minutes after you receive them.
It'd be nice if Apple would add an in-between option but until then, you'll need to make a choice. So for now, what are you selecting? Let me know in the comments!
