How to send and receive audio messages

This article outlines how to both send and receive Audio Messages using the TextFree app and Web. Audio Messages allow you to record a message through your phone speaker and send that recording within your regular text message conversation threads.

Note: You will need to grant "Microphone Permissions" to use this feature. You will be prompted to enable this feature when you record your first audio message (if you don't have it enabled currently).
