Voicemail messages are kept in your iPhone's voicemail inbox. If you need to share or save this message for any reason, you'll just need to tap the "Share" button. Here's how to save voicemails from your iPhone.

Things You Should Know

To save voicemails on your iPhone, tap "Voicemail" in the phone app, then tap the "Share" button.
Select a method of sharing, such as Voice Memos, AirDrop, or Save to Files.
