When voice messages appeared on the social network, every user began to use this opportunity. Thanks to this function, you can save a lot of time and get rid of the need to type text. All you have to do is press one button and say the words you want. Recently, voice messages in VK are increasingly not working. To eliminate malfunctions, you must determine the cause of their occurrence and take appropriate measures.
Main problems:
Older computers may not support voice SMS functionality. Technical problems on the server cannot be ruled out. In this case, it is recommended to simply wait for the problems to be resolved, which will be taken care of by the developers of the social network.
To determine why voice messages do not work in VK, you should take a number of actions:
Be sure to check the correctness of the system settings. To do this, you need to enter the section in the social network menu and open access to receive the corresponding SMS.
When using smartphones, problems with listening to SMS arise much more often. This is due to the fact that many mobile devices do not support this function. If there have been no dysfunctions with the service before, then you should look for the cause on the server. It is enough to clear the cache or change the browser on your phone. As a rule, after these steps, voice recording works correctly.
iPhone owners rarely encounter problems with voice messages. More often, problems appear with Android holders. If, after changing the settings and rebooting the phone, correct operation does not resume, then most likely the problem is on the part of the social network.
You can resolve any problems by contacting VKontakte support service. Experienced staff will give recommendations to correct existing problems. Most often, developers encounter problems when using browsers with VPN enabled. In this case, the connection speed is significantly reduced. In this case, files open slowly, so it is not possible to listen to the transferred recording. In this case, the play button is not active.
Problems often occur when using Internet Explorer on a computer and on a mobile device. Correct operation is possible only on Opera, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. In order to use the functions provided by the social network developer, follow the recommendations. Don't forget to clear your cache and cookies so that there are no problems when recording and listening to voice messages.
5 months agoDibil, you were asked to check if it works in another browser in order to determine which direction to go.
Like, if it works in another browser, then you need to check what’s wrong with your browser. The settings have been lost, need to be adjusted, etc. If it doesn’t work in another browser, then look at other possible reasons. This is called diagnostics. Imagine if your phone wasn’t running low and you were asked to connect your phone to another charger. I would also start with “why are you selling me another charger? Tell me why MY PHONE WON’T CHARGE? The mixer works from this outlet, but the phone doesn’t charge.”
“I asked technical support why the computer wouldn’t turn on, and instead of answering directly, they started asking some questions. The agents don’t help at all, there’s no help in sight, they want me to waste my time, they’re doing crap.” Ugh, damn it, it's so sickening...
Regarding your problem: CLEARLY FOLLOW THE AGENT'S INSTRUCTIONS! SAID TO DOWNLOAD THE BROWSER - FEET IN HANDS AND DOWNLOADED THE BROWSER! And then with a 99.99% probability they will help you
