sending texts with iOS 16

I have the same problem but to expand if you use Siri you cannot go in and edit it, it does not show. This is since I updated to 16 and I have a 13 mini.

Another issue while texting is that I cannot send recorded messages. Before, next to the send button used to be one that said "record audio". That button has apparently been replaced by another dictate button. Holding it down and speaking does not record, which I thought might be the case. I am supposing this is not the case for sighted folks; otherwise, I'm sure it would already be fixed.

I get done when she sents the message. Also if you are in message, open apps or tap, slide to the end you will see record.

To get to the audio option in iMessages, you need to double tap on where it says "apps", then swipe right beyond the "dictate" button to where it says "audio". Double tap "Audio", then navigate to where it says "record", double tap and you'll be recording. Incidentally, you no longer have to hold the record button to keep recording. It would have been nice though for some sort of information to be given by apple regarding that change, as I also thought at first that the ability to record audio messages had been removed.
