Why You Should Stop Sending Voice Notes

While voice notes might seem like a convenient way to communicate, they can be problematic for several reasons:

1. Time-consuming: Voice notes often take longer to listen to than it would to read the same message in text form.
2. Difficult to review: Unlike text messages, voice notes can't be easily scanned or searched for specific information.
3. Inconvenient in public: Listening to voice notes in public spaces can be disruptive and may not be possible without headphones.
4. Accessibility issues: Voice notes can be challenging for people with hearing impairments or those who struggle with auditory processing.
5. Language barriers: Accents, pronunciation, and ambient noise can make voice notes difficult to understand for non-native speakers.

In most cases, sending a concise text message is a more efficient and considerate way to communicate. So, before you hit that record button, ask yourself if a voice note is really necessary.
