To download a voice message from Facebook Messenger, the most reliable method is to use a web browser on a desktop or laptop computer by following these steps:
- Open a web browser and go to messenger.com. Log into your account.
- Find the conversation with the voice message you want to download.
- Right-click on the voice message audio player and select "Inspect" or use the browser's developer tools.
- In the developer tools, go to the "Network" tab and filter by "Media".
- Play the voice message so it loads in the "Network" tab.
- Locate the media file corresponding to the voice message, right-click it, and select "Open in new tab" or "Download".
- Save the audio file to your computer.
Alternatively, you can use m.facebook.com (the mobile version on desktop browser) and click the three dots next to the voice message to find a "Download" option. If access to a desktop is not possible, a workaround on mobile devices is to use the built-in screen recorder to capture the voice message audio. There are also Chrome extensions available that can facilitate downloading voice messages from Messenger and Instagram chats with a click. This method works on both Windows and macOS desktops using Chrome or Chrome- based browsers for best results.
