1. Facebook Messenger

If you haven't already, you'll need to download the free Facebook Messenger app for your handset or tablet.
The version for iOS devices can be found on iTunes, and the Android option is available over on Google play.


2. Composing the Message

Once you're up and running with the app, click the compose button (a plus sign on Android, a notepad and pencil on iOS) to create a new message.

Alternatively, you can just jump into the thread of an existing conversation.



3. Adding Voice

Next, press the plus sign that appears to the left of the text entry box. This will give you the option to attach an image, use the camera or record your greeting.



4. The Recorder

The voice record functionality works at the press of a virtual button. Simply hold the record button, speak, release when you're done and you can instantly listen back to your message.



5. The Voice Message

The message will appear in your conversation thread as an audio bar, per the screengrab in the slide above. Your recepient simply has to click on it to hear your greeting.


Our favorite thing about Facebook is that it keeps us connected to our faraway friends and family. If you want to send someone a special message via the service, did you know you can record a voice version?

Thanks to the Messenger apps for iOS and Android, it's possible to sing someone "Happy Birthday," record a good luck missive or even say — rather than just type — "I love you."

Take a look through our simple walkthrough in the slideshow above. Will you use this feature? Have your say in the comments below.
