How to use iPhone’s iMessage to send auto-transcribing voice messages

One reason people love their iPhones is iMessage, a feature-rich and free-to-use messaging app that has become one of the most secure and robust platforms available.

With the iOS 17 update, Apple made iMessage even more practical by introducing auto-transcribed voice messages. This feature automatically generates text from voice messages, allowing recipients to read the message if they can’t listen to the audio—particularly useful in situations where playing the audio might be risky.
