WhatsApp releases voice messages that can be listened to once

What concerns me is that those audio messages are incredibly inefficient. I receive an audio message from someone with a shopping list. That is useful, standing in a store and then looking for things from an audio message! What did we think of that again??? Oh yes, of course, text!

Typing takes a little more effort than just talking, it requires a certain level of efficiency. There’s nothing wrong with just talking, if you actually… just talk! In a live conversation you sense whether the other person is comfortable with it and you adjust your behavior on the spot. If you feel that your partner is in a busy store, you spontaneously offer to send it as a list, so that he does not have to awkwardly walk through a store with the phone on his ear in one hand and the shopping basket in the back. Others.

Audio messages are completely worthless in a non-live setting. You then place all the effort on the recipient. Nice and easy for the sender, you just ramble off whatever comes to mind, the recipient will figure it out. No thanks, I don’t want to receive audio messages from anyone, ever. Whatsapp please remove that feature. I like to hear the voices of the people I care about, but in a real conversation.
