Yeah, all the new messaging features of iOS 8 are available on the 4s since they're software only features unlike say Alex which requires a device with a 64 bit processor.

I don’t think with a 4 s you have the record audio option, do you?

Hi Jan,

OK, I’ll try this one more time: when raise to speak is turned on you do
not have to tap the record button at all. The whole point for raise to
speak is more or less hands free operation, of course it’s not really
hands free as you are holding your phone, but all you do is start a new
message, enter the contact or phone number where you want to send it to
and if the Record button is there which means the other person has
iMessage, then all you have to do is raise the phone to your ear and it
should make the little beep indicating you can now speak. You then
speak/record your message and take the phone away from your ear. This
will stop the recording and you will have the buttons on the screen to
play, send or cancel the message. Once again, don’t tap, double tap or
double tap and hold on any buttons, just raise the phone to your ear.

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi

Thanks for the info.  Let me see if I understand this, if "raise to
speak" is on, how do I activate the record button, or does that still
need to be double tapped? If not, I am not too sure how this works, or
do you tap and then hold the phone and raise it to your ear?  I agree on
the audio quality being poor.  A friend sent me an audio message, and it
really does not sound too great. Thanks all the same for the suggestions.

Regards

Jan

    Hi Jan,

    No, you don’t touch the screen at all. If you enable raise to speak
    the sensors in the phone will notice when you raise the phone to
    your ear and engage the microphone, all you do is put the phone to
    your ear and speak then take it away when you are done and the
    recording will stop. You still have to tap the Send button,,
    however, it’s not like Whats App where the message is sent as soon
    as you release the record button. With audio messages you have the
    option to send the message or play it first if you want to hear how
    it sounds.

    The quality of audio messages in iOS is quite poor compared to Whats
    App, the native iOS audio messages sound like the recording on an
    answering machine. I’m actually a bit surprised by this and hope
    Apple will improve the sound quality in future updates.

    Regards,

    Sieghard

    Hi

    I'll try that, and yes, a restart has been done.  Does it mean that
    you press and hold the button, then quickly raise it to your ear to
    record and then take it away?  The time space for doing so is
    extremely short.  Thanks for the suggestion, will try that.

    Regards

    Jan

        This should work on a 4S. Have you shut down your phone and
        restarted it since the update? If not give that a try. If not
        you can try to just raise the phone to your ear as a
        work-around. On my 5S once I do this I hear the beep and I can
        just speak and record my message, once I take the phone away
        from my ear it stops.

        Oops, almost forgot, I can’t remember if “Raise to speak” is
        turned on by default, it is something you can turn on or off.
        Just go to Settings and Messages, it’s right towards the very
        bottom.

        Regards,

        Sieghard

        Hi

        I have now, on Friday, upgraded my 4S to Ios 8.1.1, and for the
        greater part it is not doing too bad.  I have however tried
        sending an audio message to a person which has I-messaging
        enabled on his Iphone.  It does not seem to work for me though.
        The audio button is available, but double tapping and hold to
        record, just throws me out, an into the edit field, and a second
        or 2 of audio is recorded.  This happens whether the edit field
        is in edit mode or not.  Is this function meant to work on the
        4S, seeing the button is available, or might this be a phone
        specific thing with my device?  Can others using the 4S with the
        latest Ios update indeed perform this action?

        Thanks for any help in the regard.

        Jan Kleinhans
