Summary:
More options for audio message expiration would be useful, as the current options are too limited. Currently there are only "After 2 Minutes" and "Never". These 2 options are drastically opposite ends of the spectrum, and there leaves a lot of desired options in between, such as a few hours, days, or even 1 month.

As a comparison, regular text iMessages have expiration options of 30 Days, 1 Year and Forever. Audio messages should offer more options along those lines.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Settings > Messages > Expire (Audio Messages).
2. There are only 2 options, "After 2 Minutes" and "Never".

Expected Results:
More options for expiration, such as a few hours, days, or even 1 month.

Actual Results:
Only 2 options, which are too limited. 2 minutes is just too short of time.

Version:
10.0.1

Notes:
This is a suggestion for additional options that should be a relatively trivial addition and a huge gain in usability.

Configuration:
Any iOS device with iMessage
