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.

If anything, it’s a handy filter if you don’t wish to waste your time dealing with dumb people, for whom converting an idea into writing is a chore.

People now record voice messages instead of texts or in FB Messenger. Anglos never do it or at least I’ve never encountered it.

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.
