Voice messages!
It’s a bit hard to get your excitement or instructions across when sending written messages so I think voice messaging would be a great addition. I’ve had clients reach out to me this way on IG and the response is much more fluid.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your great suggestion! We’re marking this idea as completed! You can learn more about it in this blog post or in this help article.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You and your client MUST be on app version v.7.114.0 in order for the voice message function to work on mobile. It will not work otherwise. Certain Custom branded apps are still rolling out, but you should be getting it shortly if you haven’t so far.
Few important things you should know about voice messages feature:
- Voice messages are available in DMs, and Groups, and both on Web and Mobile.
- You have 2 ways of sending voice message:
-Tap, Hold to Record and Release to send
-Tap, Hold, Swipe up to lock for hands free, Record hands free and Tap to send
- Length of voice message is up to 5min long.
- You have ability to speed up the voice message to up to 2x.
- Voice messages in groups are off by default for clients, but you can turn it on in the settings.
- Just like any other message you can delete voice message.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note below items we are aware of an working on. We don’t have precise ETA yet for it:
- User can’t start new thread with a voice message - currently in development and we will be releasing this fix soon
- Trainer can’t turn off voice messages for clients in DMs - on the roadmap no ETA at the moment but you can vote for this idea here as we will be regularly checking demand for this which will help us prioritize this feature.

YES! Me and my coaches use Voxer and turn off the messaging features in Trainerize. I would LOVE to have the voice note feature for me AND the client so that we can keep things simple and all in one place.

This would be such a game changer. I'm using WhatsApp for now but would love to keep everything within Trainerize to keep it simple.

Or add in a video message response option.
I have to use a different app for my voice/video check ins. Would be awesome to do video check ins through this app! MUCH more convenient

having voice messages would be such an awesome improvement. My only complaint about trainerize is that they are lacking this feature.
