Since WhatsApp brought the voicenote feature, it has received criticism, with some claiming that it is unnecessary and fosters laziness.
But I have to disagree. There are people who are always busy and multitasking on more than one job, so voicenote is an important means to send a message across without having to edit or delete.
What do you think of the voicenote feature? Do you use it?
 
Yes, it's a better option when one doesn't have the time to type it's better to do the voice message . I don't find it bad at all.
 
The truth of the matter is you can never please everyone. Though I do not use WhatsApp voice notes that often but I think it's a good invention.
 
WhatsApp itself is a good invention for the communication. I have seen lots of people criticise it but I don't think it's bad.
 
The funny thing is that this same people who criticize it will still go ahead to use it from time to time.

On a normal day I prefer typing, the only time I use it is if a chatting with someone close, so I just use it cause I want them to hear my voice, or I want to tell them something that is a little long, it would be quicker if I say it.

Okay. I mostly use voicenote when my hands are occupied with other things. Or when I'm tired of typing.

You try to show off your deep voice to them? 😃
 
Yes, WhatsApp voice notes are a great invention, offering a convenient and personal way to communicate. They allow users to convey tone, emotion, and nuance that text messages often miss, making conversations more expressive and engaging. Voice notes are especially useful for conveying complex information quickly and are a valuable tool for users with busy schedules or those who find typing challenging. Additionally, they enhance accessibility, enabling easier communication for people with visual impairments or other disabilities. Overall, WhatsApp voice notes have significantly enriched the way we connect and share information.

😂 funny but that was not my intention though. Since they sent a voice note first it just makes it feel like I need to send them one in return.

True, I hardly do voicenote with people I'm not close to though.
 
I will say a big YES. I am one person who feels that it's a blessing and I make use of it a few times in a day. I have to do a lot of coordination job in my personal and professional lives. I like to leave a voice note over typing such a big message. And I am glad that it actually carries the real emotions in the voice. Texts at times can be misleading. It really saves a lot of my time too

That show that the voicenote feature is a wonderful too for you. Plus if it saves a bug chunk of your time then why not?

Exactly, sometimes I feel like the person should just give me a call instead of all these back and forth voices, lol.

Am not really the calling type though, I prefer chatting rather than calls.

Yes, just before coming to this site, I sent two voice notes to my colleagues. It's about the meeting tomorrow that I have with them. I have briefed them about whar we will discuss and what kind of queries they can bring to the meeting. It's saved me a lot of time. Typing a message or mail would have been longer.

That's great. I'm sure that the message you passed across was more explanatory than when you send via text.
