Hi  Rajkumar
Open the chat with the person you wish to communicate with
according to whatsapp.
Voice Messaging allows you to send your recorded voice as a message. we encourage you also to spend time reading the articles below to better understand how Voice Messaging works on your smartphone.

Sounds as if they are trying to do something their Blackberry can't do if the above is not what they are doing
I haven't done this so I hope it helps you

Good day,

Installed mp3 voice recorder and whatsapp is able to send files in that format. aaa, m4a and wav were not working at all. Not sure what the format of the file had to do with the sending of files, but it is a workaround that the user seems to have accepted.

Many thanks for the suggestions.
