raise to listen...messing up my texts

[cadman33619]

while texting... if i raise the phone to my ear... or cover the screen by accident, the text field turns grey and shows 0.00 as if waiting for me to record a message. once this shows up, i cannot get rid of it (except by force-quitting the message app). is there a way to turn off this feature?

Open the “Settings” app and head to “Messages” Scroll down under ‘Audio’ and flip the switch for “Raise to Listen” to the OFF position Very straightforward, and while you’ll lose the Raise to Listen and Raise to Respond feature, this will also prevent the inconsistent behavior that causes messages to be read before hearing, or sent before being finished recording.

actually, the audio option is not there. but i realized you need to turn ON imessage for the 'raise to respond' toggle to show up. after turning that off, you can turn imessage off again.

thanks for the reply
