# Saved voice memos

A saved voice memo is a recording you've kept for future use, handy for support replies,
pitches, acknowledgments, and anything else you find yourself saying more than once.

> These were previously called **pre-recorded messages**.

## Why use them

- **Respond quickly.** Reply to a thread or send a top-level message instantly.
- **Stop repeating yourself.** If you keep sending the same response, save it once.

## Save one

Record a voice memo as usual, and it's kept in **Voice Memos** ready to reuse. To keep a
message you've already sent into a conversation, open **Message Info**, scroll down, and tap
**Save to Voice Memo**.

> **If you used pre-recorded messages**, they're still there, in a folder inside Voice Memos.
> Zapier workflows that send one keep working, though it's worth pointing them at the voice
> memo message ID instead.

## Use one

- **Reply with one.** Press and hold on a message card, then **More → Reply with saved
  voice memo**.
- **Send a new one.** Open **Voice Memos**, find the memo, and share or send it into a
  conversation.
