Steps: First of all, type and send your desired message. Here, I'm using a Windows Phone to illustrate it, it works the same way on Android and iOS devices. Record a 3-4 seconds audio and send it after sending the messages. Next, when they see your messages, there's a high chance that they'll play your recorded audio. As soon as your recording is played, the audio mess...
