Long voice messages won't send
So I have been trying to use Google Messages more, in conjunction with other things like WhatsApp. However a big feature that doesn't work properly are the voice messages.
In WhatsApp it's very easy. You tap the icon, you speak and then hit the send button. With Google Messages after you record the voice message you need to add it as an attachment, which is overly complicated, and even then sometimes it fails to attach and send. I have never encountered this problem on WhatsApp or even Instagram which is not primarily a messenger app.
I noticed that if I send a short voice message like say less than 60 seconds it works. But if I try to record and send a voice message over 2 minutes it fails to send the attachment. This is quite sad considering I have had people send me 30 minute voice messages on WhatsApp and it's worked fine. Yet I can't seem to record 3 minute voice messages on Google Messages. I believe this should be given some attention by the developers as a lot of us use voice messages as a primary communication feature. Also has anyone else encountered the same thing?
