Having opened free access to registration in November 2006, the then very young social network VKontakte began to develop rapidly. From 2007 to the present, the resource has launched several dozen services, eventually turning into a multifunctional online microblogging platform that combines the capabilities of a messenger, cloud storage and trading platform. Some of the features available on the social network deserve special attention.

Thus, in the second half of 2021, users were able to send voice messages to each other on VK. This method of communication has a number of advantages: firstly, the voice perfectly conveys the mood, and secondly, if the user still wants to send a message by text, it will be much faster to read it through a microphone than to type it by hand. Plus, such messages can be exchanged, let’s say, in less favorable circumstances, for example, while traveling in a car.

Sending through the official Vk App

1. This application can be installed through the App Store or Google Play Store. If you have Vk App installed, check whether it is updated to the latest version.
2. We go into the application, open a dialogue with your interlocutor, looking in the lower right corner you will find a microphone icon. The first time you press it, you will be asked to allow the use of a microphone; we confirm it of course. When you tap on the microphone icon in the same corner, an indicator of the time of your message and a red recording circle will appear (this means the recording has started and you need to start speaking). And be careful, as soon as you release your finger from the screen, the message is automatically sent to your friend, so release your finger if you are sure that you have finished recording your message.
3. If you are not satisfied with the text of your message, without releasing your finger while writing, simply swipe left and the message will be deleted.

Advantages of this method:

• A practical way to send.
• Simple and more convenient interface.

To system requests about installing or updating programs necessary for recording audio messages, we answer “allow”.

You will also have to check the box to allow access to the camera and recording device.

The word "Error" may appear in the flash player. Try connecting the microphone again, check the settings, or switch the headset to a different input.

Once everything is set up, you can record your message. To do this, click the green button with the word “Continue”. Speak your message into the microphone. When the process is complete, press the “Stop” button.

• exit – cancels sending the voice recording.

After clicking “Send”, the voice file will go to the interlocutor. You can see the audio message in the dialog window and listen to it.

What to do if the voice message was not sent

First, check your Internet connection; to communicate in this form, it must be stable.

Secondly, you need to be sure that the speaker is in perfect order, this can be understood by the equalizer message; if the strip is straight and even, it means it is damaged or broken (it is better to take it for repair and not try to fix it yourself if you don’t understand), otherwise In this case, your speaker is normal.

If the reason for the unsuccessful sending of the message has not been identified, then it is better to write to Technical Support for Users.

Special functions and settings

Telegram provides communication via messages, video, and audio. All of them are located in one window, simple and easy to use. To write text, open the desired dialog, scroll down, write a message and send.

Recording a video message is also quite simple: open the dialogs and press the microphone once. The system will switch to video mode. All that remains is to write it down and send it to your interlocutor.

Any audio recording, just like other types of messages, is stored in the dialogue memory. Can be deleted by the user if necessary.

The program provides for blocking random entries. It is useful if recording occurs while the phone is in your pocket. It includes prohibiting access to the microphone for the Telegram platform. To do this, on your iPhone you need to go to the privacy settings, then to the microphone functions, find the application in them and disable it.

On Android, you can block a random entry in this way:

1. Open the application and notification system.
2. Find “Telegram”, then disable the permission item. In web versions you just need to block access to the microphone.

How to set up voice input

All function parameters are configured in the “Language and input” section in the device settings. Typically, here you can configure the following components at your own discretion:

1. Voice input operating time. On some versions of Android, the user can set the time interval during which the mode will operate, and then automatically turn off.
2. Selecting applications to work with Voice Access. You can independently specify the programs from the list of preinstalled ones on the device in which the mode will work. This is convenient if a person uses voice input capabilities only in a few smartphone programs.
3. Display of checks. When a person types a text using his voice, this mode automatically sends him what happened to check. This feature is relevant when typing messages in instant messengers, when before sending an SMS to your interlocutor, it can be checked for errors.
4. The ability to set the intonation of the voice for actions that can be interpreted differently. For example, the word period can be treated by Voice Access as both a word and a character. If the user means a symbol, then he should pronounce this word quickly, and if it is a noun, a member of a sentence, then he should pronounce it slowly.

All settings for the “Voice Input” function on Android operating systems are made after its activation.

How to cancel an appointment

Deleting voice messages.

Deleting voices is quite simple: you just need to hold the recording for two or three seconds. Next, the screen displays information about the actions that need to be taken: delete or forward.

The desired action is selected and sent to the chat.

If there is a need to interrupt recording while speaking in the web version and on the computer, simply release the record button outside the text fields. On the phone this is done like this: move the button to the left along the message field. Deletion is permanent and cannot be restored.
