A glitch in the iOS Messages app won’t allow you to send audio messages with an ampersand, as reported by MacRumors.
The bug was first highlighted on the Search Engine podcast, and then further investigated by app developer Guilherme Rambo. Basically, if you try to send someone an audio message in the Messages app that includes a phrase with an ampersand, it won’t go through. This would affect messages including brand names such as Ben & Jerry’s, Dolce & Gabbana, Tiffany & Co., H&M, etc.
From MacRumors: As it turns out, the problem isn’t with the audio message itself, but with the transcript that accompanies any audio message that you send. Apple’s transcription engine understands proper company names like H&M or Dave & Buster’s, displaying them with an ampersand rather than the word “and,” so when you send someone a voice message saying something like “Do you want to go to Dave & Buster’s?” the transcript is rendered just like that, with the proper name.
