Using iMessage (Messages)
Tap a conversation in the Messages app. Doing so will open your conversation. If you can't find the conversation you need, swipe down on this screen and then type your contact's name into the Search bar at the top of the screen. You can tap the box with a pencil icon in the top right corner of the screen to create a new message. If you're already in a conversation with someone, you'll have to tap the Back button in the top left corner of the screen to view the "Messages" page.
Tap the Audio Messages icon. It's the blue icon with white soundwave lines just below the typing area. A red microphone icon will appear.
Tap and hold the microphone as you speak. Continue holding your finger to the icon until you're ready to send your message. As soon as you lift your finger from the screen, your audio message will be sent. This will only work when sending a message to another person who uses iMessage. You won't be able to send audio messages to Android users.

Tap Share. It's the second option on the menu. Your iPhone's sharing menu will appear.
