Facebook Messenger is one of the most widely used chat and messaging apps on the planet. It is being used increasingly to interact via text, audio, and video. However, one of the most often requested questions among Facebook Messenger users is how to store audio files from the program. Currently, the ability to save audio messages is not a built-in function of Facebook Messenger. Fortunately, there are still a few other ways to store audio messages on your desktop or laptop.

In this post, we will show you how to download audio from Messenger with just a few steps. Just follow the article to the end to acquire the skill.

Part 1. How to Get Audio from Messenger on Facebook Web

Since the Messenger mobile app cannot be used to download audio files or voice communications from Messenger. You'll have to go to m.facebook.com on a desktop instead. This is due to the lack of a "Download" feature in the Messenger mobile app.

You might also be curious about the distinction between "m.facebook.com" and "facebook.com". The mobile version of the Facebook website is "m.facebook.com", which is more compatible and speedier on mobile devices. "facebook.com", on the other hand, is the desktop version of Facebook. You'll want to use "m.facebook.com" because it includes additional capabilities, such as downloading music files. Follow these steps to download your audio on massager successfully:

Step 2. After successfully logging in, go to the navigation bar and click on the Messenger icon. This will provide you with a list of messages on your Facebook account. Find the message with the audio you want to download and click on it to open.

Step 3. Once you are in the message conversation with the audio, move to the audio you want to download. You'll see a "Play" button, a "Volume" icon, and a "three dots" icon on the audio. You may play the audio by pressing the play button and changing the volume by pressing the volume icon. On the other hand, the three dots indicator will provide a new option. To access a new option, click the three dots icon. The three dots indicator appears solely on the "m.facebook.com" website; therefore, if you don't see it, you're on the wrong page.

After clicking on the three dots, you will see the "download" option. Click on it to download the audio. The audio will be downloaded in "MP4" format and stored on your computer. You can open the file to listen to it and confirm that it is on your computer.
