I have had a heck of a time with messages deciding it wants to send an audio clip to people without me prompting it to do so. I am not sure what is triggering the audio clips to send, but I am 100% definitely not hitting the microphone next to the text box. I know you can hold it up to your ear and talk to it like a phone to send an audio message, but i will be in the middle of typing a message and all of the sudden it just starts recording. and once it starts I don't know how to prevent it from sending the message. I usually have to force quit messages to get it to stop recording, but it still manages to send the audio clip. The biggest concern i have, is that once I do that, it doesn't show up in my message thread that I have sent a clip, but it shows up in the receivers messages. I have had several friends and business contacts ask why I am sending them audio clips. Disturbing, and I hope only a glitch with the beta 1. I wish there was a way to disable that feature of messages. I don't want to talk via messages, thats why I am sending a text message. Otherwise i'd pick up the phone. Is anyone else having this issue?
