Over the years, WhatsApp has become an indispensable messaging app, offering a variety of ways to communicate, including the ability to use voice notes. However, many people may not know that you can save WhatsApp audio and use it outside of the service on your iPhone, Android phone, or even on the web.
Whether it’s a heartfelt message from a loved one or an important piece of information, saving WhatsApp audio can allow you to use it later. In this guide we will show you simple and easy steps on how to download and save WhatsApp audio on your smartphone or PC. Let’s get started.
How to save voice messages from WhatsApp on Android
All WhatsApp data is stored in the device’s internal storage, accessible by File Manager. Once you find the sound, you can move it to a more accessible location. However, if you don’t want to go to the trouble, you can also save WhatsApp audio to your messages. Follow along as we show you the steps for both.
1. Save WhatsApp Audio on Email
The simplest and easiest way to save WhatsApp voice messages is to share the audio file with your Gmail or even Google Drive. Note, however, that you cannot save files larger than 25 MB via Gmail. Follow the steps below to save the audio file.
Step 1: Open WhatsApp and go to the conversation with the voice note you want to save.
Step 2: Long press the voice note and tap the three dots in the top right corner.
Step 3: Select Share and select Gmail from the sharing options.
Note: When you share a voice note from WhatsApp with an external app, the note will be shared as an audio file.
Audio notes will now be accessible via your email account. You can share it with others or keep it in draft form as your keepsake.
2. Find WhatsApp audio files in File Manager
As mentioned earlier, all WhatsApp audio files are saved to the internal storage of the device. However, it does require some sifting through your huge WhatsApp data to find them. But the good thing is that the file manager app on your Android device allows you to save WhatsApp audio files in bulk.
So while the data is saved, we’ll show you how to find those files and move them to a more accessible location. Follow up.
Step 1: Open File Manager on your Android smartphone.
