Voice Notes
Voice notes let you send a quick audio message to your group, faster than typing when you're on the move.
Record and send a voice note​
- Open the chat panel
- Tap the microphone button to start recording, a red recording bar appears with a live timer
- Speak your message
- When done, tap the Send button to send, or tap the trash icon to discard
Voice notes under 1 second are automatically discarded even if you tap Send.
The voice note is uploaded and delivered to all group members immediately.
Listening to a voice note​
Voice notes appear as audio players in the chat feed. Tap the play button to listen. You can pause and resume playback at any time.
Tips​
- Voice notes work great when hands are occupied, gloves, driving, carrying gear
- Keep voice notes short and clear, ambient noise (wind, crowd noise) can make long recordings hard to understand
- Members can replay voice notes as many times as needed, useful for instructions that need to be followed precisely
Availability​
Voice notes are available on iOS and Android. On web/PWA, playback works in all browsers but recording requires browser microphone permission.
Grant Flaresat microphone access when prompted, or go to your browser/device settings and enable it for Flaresat.
Radio voice notes​
Voice notes are not supported in Radio groups. Radio communication uses text messages only (LoRa bandwidth isn't sufficient for audio data).
