For real. A voice note means I’ll wait for half a day before I’ll have a chance to listen without annoying someone, with a 50% chance of me accidentally clicking on the notification and forgetting it’s there. It’s the worst of both worlds: not as instant as a call and not as easy as text.
Instead of having to type out a message, you can just blab
Now the receiver has the burden on having to actively listen to the message, maybe finding a situation where it’s possible and take the time to listen to it in the speed of the sender instead of being able to read it quickly
