`client.Chats.SendVoicememo(ctx, chatID, body) (*ChatSendVoicememoResponse, error)`

**post** `/v3/chats/{chatId}/voicememo`

Send an audio file as an **iMessage voice memo bubble** to all participants in a chat.
Voice memos appear with iMessage's native inline playback UI, unlike regular audio

### Parameters

- `chatID string`

- `body ChatSendVoicememoParams`

  - `AttachmentID param.Field[string]`

    Reference to a voice memo file pre-uploaded via `POST /v3/attachments`.
