are more conscious of the inconvenience the person receiving a voice note goes through.
Yeah, I don’t get why these 10-minute-monologue people can’t just use the dictation feature instead of recording a voice message. Text I can parse and find the important bits very quickly, a voice note I have to listen to carefully and sometimes even take notes. I hate them.
I think we’re looking in this at too much of a functional level. Voice notes can be a momento from a loved one. I wish more of my friends and family used them because one day they won’t be around and I would love to be able to hear their voice again.
I only use voice notes to send cutesy messages from the little kids to family.
I have a friend who nearly always sends voice notes instead of messages. She’s dyslexic, so I know it’s easier for her than writing, but it means that I’ll frequently forget about them and take ages to reply. With voice notes I need a quiet place to hear and process them plus extra time, texts are much quicker and easier to process.
I will say that the only time I ever used a voice note was to voice something I couldn’t write, like saying something in a funny voice. Usually only a few seconds long.

Accessibility is indeed a good reason.

In my case it was redoing the YIPPEEEEEE meme 😆.
