How to send one time voice message on Telegram

Ever want to send a voice message on Telegram but worry about it sticking around forever? Telegram's got you covered with view-once voice messages! Here's how to utilise this disappearing voice message feature to send private audio snippets that self-destruct after one listen.

Here's how to send a one-time voice message on Telegram, also known as a view-once voice message:

1. Open the Chat: Launch the Telegram app and open the chat where you want to send the voice message.

2. Access Voice Recording: Tap and hold on the microphone icon in the chat box to initiate voice recording.

3. Enable One-Time Sending: While holding the microphone icon to record, swipe up on the record button. This will lock the recording mode and display a lock icon.

4. Optional: Preview (Android Only): On Android devices, you'll see a new record button with a number "1" next to it. Tapping this allows you to record a preview of your message before sending it (similar to regular voice messages).

5. Send the Message: Once you've finished recording and are happy with your message, slide your finger to the right (without releasing your finger from the record button) or tap the send button (with the lock icon) depending on your device.

What the Recipient Sees:
* The recipient will see your one-time voice message with a small "1" icon indicating it's a view-once message.

* They can only play the message once. There's no option to pause, rewind, or replay it.

* Once they play the message, it will disappear from the chat.
