How to download audio from Facebook Messenger
To download audio from Facebook Messenger, you need to go to m.facebook.com and click on the “Messenger” icon.
Next, navigate to audio, click the three dots and click “Download” to download it.
If you want to download audio files or voice messages on Messenger, you can’t use the Messenger mobile app.
Instead, you’ll have to go to m.facebook.com on a desktop computer.
This is because the Messenger mobile app does not have a “Download” feature.
You may also be wondering about the difference between “m.facebook.com” and “facebook.com”.
“m.facebook.com” is the mobile version of the Facebook website so it is more compatible and faster on mobile devices.
On the other hand, “facebook.com” is the desktop version of Facebook.
“m.facebook.com” also has additional features that you can use such as downloading audio files, so you will want to use that.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can download audio from Facebook Messenger.
Step 1: Login to “m.facebook.com” on your desktop
First, go to m.facebook.com on a desktop computer.
You can use any browser for this, but Chrome is recommended.
Just type “m.facebook.com” in the URL field of your browser and hit enter on your keyboard.
On the website you will see a login form where you can log in to your Facebook account.
Just log in to your Facebook account by entering your mobile number/email address and password.
Then, click “Sign In” to log in.
Keep in mind that you won’t be able to download voice/audio messages on the Messenger mobile app.
This is because the Messenger mobile app doesn’t support downloading those files.
Therefore, to download audio/voice messages, you need to go to “m.facebook.com” on your desktop instead.
Do not go to “facebook.com” as you will be redirected to the Messenger web app (you don’t want that!).
Proceed to the next step to learn how to navigate to your message.
Step 2: Click on the “Messenger” icon and go to the message section
Once you are logged in to “m.facebook.com”, you will access your news feed.
The user interface of “m.facebook.com” is different from the one on “facebook.com” because it is made for mobile devices.
As a result, you will find that the icons and images on your news feed are lengthened.
The next step you need to take is to access your Facebook messages.
To navigate to your Facebook messages, click the “Messenger” icon on the top navigation bar.
This will open your message list on Messenger.
On your message list, find the message that contains the audio you want to download.
Click on the message to open your conversation with that person.
Proceed to the final step to learn how to download audio.
Step 3: Click on the three dots & download the sound
After you open a conversation with that person, navigate to the audio/voice message you want to download.
Above the audio, you will see a “Play” icon, a “Volume” icon, and a “three dots” icon.
The play icon lets you play the sound, while the volume icon lets you control the volume of the sound.
Otherwise, the three-dot icon opens an additional option.
Click the three-dot icon to open an additional option.
The three-dot icon is only visible on the “m.facebook.com” website, so if you don’t see it, it means you’re on the wrong site.
Make sure that the URL on your browser is “m.facebook.com” and not “facebook.com”.
After clicking on the three dots, you will see a “Download” option.
Click “Download” to download the audio.
This will download the audio as a “MP4” file on your computer.
Click on the file to open and listen to it.
To save the file, click the arrow icon, then click “Show in Folder”.
Finally, right click on the file, copy and paste it into the folder where you want to save it.
You have successfully learned how to download audio from Facebook Messenger!
Can I download voice messages from Messenger on my phone?
No, you cannot download voice messages from Messenger on your phone.
This is because the Messenger mobile app does not support downloading voice messages.
You also won’t be able to download voice messages using the Messenger web app.
The only way to download voice messages from Messenger is to go to “m.facebook.com” on a desktop computer.
How to forward voice messages on Messenger?
To forward a voice message on Messenger, touch and hold the voice message.
Then, tap on the “Forwards” option on the bottom navigation bar.
Finally, find the user(s) you want to forward the voice message to and tap “Send” to forward it.
If the voice message is forwarded successfully, the “Send” button will change to the “Sent” button.
Conclusion
Currently, the Facebook Messenger application is still lacking a lot of features.
On WhatsApp, files can be easily downloaded on both its mobile app and web version.
Therefore, for most people, the main choice for messaging is WhatsApp.
With that said, Facebook messaging is useful if you don’t know someone’s contact number.
