Can't send voice messages

[bartz1]

With 3.5 I remember being able to send voice messages. Then with 3.5.1 this feature disappeared. I went through the commits and saw that it has been disabled due to problems with the iOS version. However, aren't those problems fixed with the new format for audio messages? Or what issues are there left to fix?

The way I've understood this, voice messages in the iOS version haven't been implemented at all so far.

That's a possibility, but then why is there an open PR saying "audio recording minor fixes"? signalapp/Signal-iOS#740 If someone's fixing it, it means it's there...right?

There's some truth to this 😄

It's there, it's just deactivated while iOS plays ketchup.

This is followed in #3563.
So I suggest to close this here.

@Dyras I know it's there on Android. The question has been if it's there on iOS.

[Dyras]

Nope it's not there on iOS yet.

Then I'd update my question to: when are they hiring a new iOS developer? Lol it's kind of useless to have people work on the android app if ios gets in the way like this... this app will never improve with new features if development is dead on one of the only two platforms it exists on.. I can see why everyone else here was moving to telegram, I'll switch too. Closing this.
