Good to know

  • A voice message can be up to 5 minutes. At 5 minutes the recording stops by itself, and you can still send it.
  • A recording shorter than about a second is thrown away.
  • To play one you got, tap play on it.
  • If you said no to the microphone before, tapping it says Ayyam can’t use the microphone. Turn it on in your phone’s Settings to record a voice message. Tap Open Settings, turn on the microphone for Ayyam, then try again.
  • The website can’t record voice messages yet. One sent from the app shows there as the words Voice message, and it can’t be played.
