Knowing your app (Part 17) how to record and send messages

In the previous post we learnt how to search and add new contacts. Now that we've learnt how to do that, let's learn how to send messages. Just like everything about the app, sending a new message is pretty simple (there will be diagrams to elaborate on me words). Once you've logged into the app, you will notice three icons on the top of the screen from any part of the app except the "filter page" (A more elaborate explanation about this three icons can also be learnt from the previous post and older post). They are located at the top of all but one of the app page and they are called (top left to top right), the settings icons, the profile page/screen icon and the record page/screen icon. For this tutorial we would be talking about the "record new page/screen". More information about the "profile page can also be found in the previous post.

At this point we would love to assume that you have made some new friends or just have your old ones on the app. Perhaps I am one of your new friends (keshjacobs is my username on the app, feel free to add me). So back o the matter at hand. You have made some new friends and you wish to start talking to them. Or you have already received one or more messages from them and you wish to reply (if you add me "keshjacobs" I would most-likely have already send you a voice note saying a big thank you for adding me and downloading the app). Once again we return to the reason you might be reading this post. To send a new message, simple tap on the icon on the top right corner of the screen (the record new icon). you would then be taken to a page (the record page) showing a list of your contacts and a button for recording new messages (note the main  three navigation icons would still remain at the top of the screen). To record a new message simply tap on the person you wish to send a message to (this would tick the circle besides the name) then tap and hold the button below the name to record a new message. let go off the icon once you're done recording your message. Your recorded message will play back immediately then tap "send" to send the message to the selected contact. If you do not wish to send the message you  just recorded, simply tap "cancel" to delete it. Taping send will take you back to the timeline page (more details of timeline page in older posts). here you would see the status of the message you have just sent. You will get a notification at the bottom of the screen's page indicating the message has been sent. For best performance and to ensure the message reaches the receiver, please wait in the current screen (timeline screen) until you're notified message has been sent. Once you have been notified about this, the information that says sending besides the receiver's name would change to "sent".
