iOS 12.2 beta 5 brings improved audio quality for voice messages in iMessage, reports developer Frederik Riedel.

"wow: on iOS 12.2 beta 5 finally voice messages on #iMessage seems to be fixed: they sound crystal clear now", tweets Riedel.


It appears that in the new beta, Apple is now using the Opus Codec @ 24000 Hz instead of the AMR Codec @ 8000 Hz.
