    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.

      Accessibility is indeed a good reason.

      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.

      In my case it was redoing the YIPPEEEEEE meme 😆.
