SOME DO NOT LIKE phone calls, some do not like to send texts. Gladly, there is a middle ground in the form of voice notes. Although several social media and messaging platforms offer this feature, the most prominent is probably WhatsApp. The instant messaging app first introduced the feature back in 2013 and has been making tweaks to its features since then. Such is the popularity that as many as 7 million voice notes are sent on the platform every day, according to WhatsApp.
And it is understandable, it is easier than typing a long message. You also do not have to engage in a long conversation over a call. You just tap on your microphone, record a message and send it. That's it! These are end-to-end encrypted too, adding a much-needed layer of security to the personal messages.
However, as easy and convenient as it is to send voice notes, there are some gaffes you must avoid and etiquette that you should follow. Nobody likes listening to a 10-minute long voice note-cum podcast or other people's messages played loud.Also, you can put some thought into how you reply to these, as the tone and the words used can play a role in how the other person takes them.
