Instagram’s voice messaging feature is pretty simple to use. According to the social media platform, voice messaging feature works just like the DMs on Instagram do, but instead of typing your message, you record it and send it through the platform instead. When you’re ready to record your message, just press down on the microphone icon, say what you gotta say, and then when you release the mic icon, your message will automatically send, pretty easy peasy.
