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.

We’re returning your vote to you so please come back to ideas.trainerize.com to add your vote to other ideas.
Thanks!

Does the team have a possible idea how long development phase might take? This is exciting to see coming down the pipeline!

Would also love to know when this will be happening?

Would love to know an ETA as well, I think as many others have stated, I've considered switching out platforms for the 2024 year as I've ran Trainerize for multiple years now, and one of my clients favorite things is the ability to have more personal touch, but they dislike having to access across multiple platforms 🥲

How long is the development phase? I have been in two minds about changing platforms due to this.

Today when I logged into my TRZ account there was a Pop Up message that seemed to tease Voice Messages launch in 2024.
Can you provide a more concrete ETA as I am actively migrating VM to another platform. If this is really launching early 2024 I will stop this migration and save a lot of time.
Thanks in advance for additional info.

Hey there TZ team? Any update here? Looking into Voxer or some voice messaging app for the new year and it would be great to have an idea of when this may be completed!

Voice messaging is a must for coaching. Having to use multiple apps is annoying. I dont use the message feature on Trainerize as there is no voice messaging. I use whats app for commucation. Im trialling another coaching app at the moment with this feature and it works great

I need this feature!!!! I have been doing video feedback for my clients, but it's less time consuming if we can have voice memo options as well!

How is voice messaging not a thing yet?... This has to be an easy integration! Please add this asap :))

Yes! I would LOVE this. At the moment, I have to use WhatsApp for this - I find voice notes just add a bit more of a personal aspect to clients / members coaching experience.

This is one feature EverFit has that makes them very enticing. Would make a massive difference for me in efficiency of check ins

Matt Chandler commented
This is VITAL. Honestly considering changing platforms after 3 years simply because of the lack of voice notes on the coaches end
-
Is there any update on wether voice notes will be a feature?

Sydney Tollett commented
I see this has been started, happy to hear that. Just want to add that I would prefer this be put out before any new recipe/nutrition features. This is a crucial piece of my coaching, and it's very inconvenient having to use a separate app for audios. The only other way is via text, which I don't like my clients having my personal number. Hopefully this will be out soon!!

It makes it easier in the days with communication and helps with connection with clients!

When is this coming?
We've been waiting for this feature for years and nothing seems to happen. This is an essential way to communicate with clients!
in my opinion, this is a MUST-HAVE and a crucial part of coaching.

Would loooove if we could add voice memo as an option with our chats to clients, honestly saves me having What's App also to communicate for client technique videos, check in's etc!
Please & thank you -

Is this still happening? It’s half way through 2023? I really think this is an extremely important feature
