If you have wondered how to send a long audio via WhatsApp, you are not the only one. The app has a duration limit on messages of voice recordings directly from the chat, and it often interrupts if you leave the conversation or lock the phone.
To send a long audio without cuts, hold down the microphone icon and slide it up to lock the recording. This way you can speak without having to hold down the button. If the message is too long, WhatsApp will send it as a single file, as long as it does not exceed the app’s size limits.
Another alternative is to record the audio with your phone’s voice recorder or with an external app, and then send the file as a document or audio from the chat. This way you can share longer recordings with better quality.
On Android or iPhone devices, you just have to tap the attach clip → “Document” or “Audio” → select the file and send it.
In short, sending a long audio via WhatsApp is possible both by recording it directly and by attaching an external file, which gives you more control over the duration and quality of the message.
