 You do this from the messaging area so let me take you through it so first of all we're going to click the icon or tap the icon at the top right of the screen and then you do this from within a message so let's fire up a new message so we'll click the icon at the bottom of the screen there to create a new message we'll select Kareem and then what we're looking for is the microphone symbol at the bottom so what you do is you tap that once and then a bigger microphone symbol appears on the screen and what you do is you have to hold down this button with your finger then you speak to record your message and then release don't worry about sending a message accidentally because as you'll see when you release your finger or thumb you get the option to cancel it
