Save your favorite voicemails forever
MANY OF US have them—treasured voicemails that we keep in our inbox. A loved one said something sentimental. A friend made a funny remark. A kid shared something oh so cute. But if you want to hang on to that recording for posterity, you should save it elsewhere. Depending on your cell provider, voicemails on smartphones may get deleted after 14 or 30 days or after a certain number have accumulated.
TO SAVE A MESSAGE:
Open your voicemail app and select the message to save.
On an iPhone, tap on the icon that looks like a box with an arrow on top.
On an Android, tap the vertical ellipsis or three dots with two lines.
Choose where you want to export the file. You can send it to a nearby computer; save it to your phone in the files, voice memo or recorder app; email it to yourself or save it to a cloud drive.
