Suno has added iMessage integration to its iPhone app, letting users generate a 30-second audio clip inside Apple’s messaging app from either a text or voice prompt.
According to Suno, anyone with the latest version of its iPhone app can access the feature by tapping the plus button in an iMessage chat and selecting Suno. Users can paste in a friend’s message as the prompt, then choose a genre for the generated audio.
There is one catch: the person receiving the clip must also have the Suno app installed to listen to it.
Engadget frames the launch critically, arguing that generated clips are a poor substitute for recording and sending a real voice note. The outlet also points to the ongoing controversy around Suno’s training data, describing the company’s system as one that scraped tens of millions of tracks from the internet for training, allegedly including many copyrighted works.
The new feature expands Suno’s distribution beyond its standalone app and into everyday messaging, even if the playback requirement limits how broadly those generated songs can travel.
