To forward a voice message on Messenger, tap and hold the voice message. On WhatsApp, files can be easily downloaded on both the mobile app and the web version of it.

I was able to use the second method without problems, both on the messenger website and in the message area on Facebook-thanks! I have a question about the first method, though; I don't appear to have a Network tab… is it called something different on Mavericks, or is it hidden someplace non-obvious?

Try updating Safari. Which version are you using? I'm using Safari 7. According to my husband, who built my Hackintosh, I can't get a newer Safari until he updates the operating system, but he doesn't feel like doing that at this time. Do I just not have a Network tab?

Technically, you will not be downloading the audio file or voice clip. Instead, you will be playing it on your device and then recording the audio, which will then be saved as an audio file.

Just play the audio clip on Messenger and tap the notification drawer to start recording right away.

You can even use an audio recording app or software if you prefer. Luis is the founder and editor of Tech Pilipinas. He is passionate about technology and how it can change the world for the better. Your email address will not be published.
