Quick audio recordings in messages....

i have a case that has a front flap, this has happened to me several times when i closed it and THEN went to lock it, or even closed it just to walk to another room and reopen it to continue use.

There are more ways this can happen than just putting it in your pocket unlocked. Just because something doesn't happen to YOU doesn't make it a non-issue.
 
I'm having problems with this.. Apple needs to fix this.

Is there a way to disable?

Even if I were to get in the habit of either clicking the home button, or locking before pocketing it, I still think it needs to be fixed. Siri doesn't activate when I put it in my pocket unlocked so the audio text feature activating in pockets has to be a bug

Or stop talking about people after texting them? :p
 
sent another 16 min message today by accident haha. I don't typically lock my phone because sometimes something comes up at work and i put my phone in my pocket quickly to take care of something and when i take it back out I send this long voice message. we need a disable setting!
 
What I don't understand is, how does it send? I can understand why it continues to record after it's in a pocket, but don't you have to swipe up to send?
 
Are people having this kind of issue with the Siri raise to speak feature which seemingly works the same way (and has been around for at least one or a few iOS versions now)?

I've put every phone since 1997that didn't flip into stand by prior to placing in my pocket... The few times I haven't throughout the years I've been quickly reminded to do so you either pocket dial "Hence the term" or do something else unintended

I really have to ask why would you put your phone away in a jacket or pocket or anywhere else with the screen on? Do you hate battery life? Do you like instances where something gets pressed inadvertently?

I prefer the way it's set up and also have Siri set to launch when it thinks the phone is raised to my ear

Anyways my two cents but I've always had my phone set to not auto lock for at least five minutes because I personally put it into standby when not in use and I will say having a 5S makes this a lot less painless than it use to be And besides doing it for battery life it's good to be in the habit of putting it in standby manually each time your done using it

And yes Siri has activated in my pocket a few times when I didn't manually lock it it uses the same action sequence to trigger the same way Siri doesn't always activate when raised to your ear is the reason this won't always activate in your pocket but 9 out of 10 times it will

You would think, but the raise to speak feature for it sends it automatically when it senses that it's not up to your ear anymore. Or in this case, when you take your phone out of your pocket again or if the screen loses contact with your leg. It's a really stupid bug that I'm sure will be fixed soon.
 
I can't believe there are people who put their phone in their pocket, screen on. What's going on in the world? There are people who complain about battery life every second of the day, and we've got people like the OP not even locking his phone before he puts it back in his pocket. :p

Another day, another person using their device in a way I wouldn't expect.

Well. That could be problematic. In addition to the "pocket dialing" problem you are having, I can imagine it sending messages prematurely if it senses you've lowered the phone even though you haven't finished speaking the message.

While I personally think locking the phone before putting it away is good practice, I'm sure ithe impact on battery life is minuscule if you have it set to auto lock in 1-3 minutes.

Perhaps not, but it's still the screen being lit and fully functional while it's not in use. Regardless of how much battery it's using, it's still wasteful.

Actually, the battery being used for an extra 1-3 minutes until auto lock kicks in doesn't bother me that much -- sure, it's a bit of a waste, but there are other things I use everyday that use far more electricity that it's a tiny drop in an ocean. I lock my phone because I'm paranoid about the phone touching something that could activate it and do things on the phone I don't want. Other people apparently don't feel the same anxiety, and I think to them, always locking the phone would seem like unreasonable behavior -- why expend the effort when it shuts down automatically by itself?

I switched back from Android to iPhone almost specifically because I couldn't find an Android phone that didn't turn the screen on in my pocket.

What? Why would Android phones behave differently from the iPhone in this regard? :confused:

So if a car would lock its doors 3 minutes after you walked away from it, and at various times someone would get into the car during those 3 minutes and steal things from it, would it make logical sense to simply lock the car after you exit it, or to keep on saying how more convenient it is to have it lock on its own (while paying for that convenience with someone taking things from the car)?
 
I honestly don't understand the allure of this feature. Would much rather see a "SnapChat" style feature in iMessage.

Not the same thing, Walking away from an unlocked car can result in someone stealing the car from you. Not putting a phone to sleep before putting it into your pocket only causes, at most, some stuff being deleted off your phone, for example. I'm very protective of the data I have on my phone, but other people just might not have anything important to them on the phone.

It's analogous in the sense that doing something that is only just so slightly more convenient can result in something noticeably undesirable, while doing something just a tiny but less convenient can avoid those undesirable things.
