The only voice notes I listen to are work-related because I have no choice. Otherwise, they are rude and inconvenient. I have to be in a place where I can turn on sound which is almost never. They aren’t searchable, so I have to either annotate or re-listen. In a communication between boss and a secretary, they are fine, but among equals they aren’t.
I understand what you’re saying about voicemail (or are voice notes a different thing?) but I do not get what sharghzadeh is going on about.

Guess I’m an Anglo, then, and very glad for it.
I have never recorded a voice message in my life nor have I ever listened to any of the few that I have received. What’s the point? Have people forgotten how to use their fingers to write on a keyboard?

Many people are using text-to-speech/speech-to-text to write and read the messages nowadays, presumably due to lack of reading/writing skills. Text-to-speech works great if you are a native speaker of English, not so much otherwise. That may be one of the reason why Anglos don’t send recorded messages.
