The research showed 79% of 18 to 27-year-olds, dubbed Generation Z, now use voice notes regularly, sending an average of 23 each week.

Teenagers and young adults say they prefer using them to save time, cited by 48%, as they are easier than typing (40%) and not wanting to write out messages (37%).
