Voice Messages let you record and send quick audio notes in the Complete Guide to uChat Messenger. Whether you're talking to a friend or asking a question to a Malet Owner, voice messages are fully end-to-end encrypted, ensuring no one—not even the platform—can listen to your recordings.

How it Works

To send a voice message:

  1. Open any uChat conversation.
  2. Look for the microphone icon (🎙️) on the right side of the message input bar.
  3. Click and speak! The input bar will transform to show your recording duration and a live audio visualizer.
  4. If you make a mistake, simply click the X to cancel the recording.
  5. When you're done, click the send icon.

Your audio is instantly encrypted on your device and sent to the recipient, who can play it directly from their chat bubble using the built-in media player.

Privacy & Security

Every voice message you send is protected by the same military-grade encryption used for your text messages. The audio is locked on your device before it ever travels over the internet.

NOTE

For Developers: See uChat Voice Messages Architecture for the full technical breakdown of the encrypted blob pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a time limit for voice messages? Yes — voice messages are currently capped at 5 minutes to ensure they can be encrypted and uploaded quickly on mobile networks.

Can I listen to my recording before I send it? Not currently. Once you click send, the recording is immediately encrypted and dispatched. If you change your mind, you can always delete the message using the Trash icon next to the message!

Why can't I hear any audio? Ensure your browser has permission to play audio, and double-check your device's volume settings. If you're on a mobile device, check if your phone is in silent mode.
