I absolutely hate when people send voice texts.
Either text me or call me. I don’t want to have a verbal conversation with a delay between messages, where I then need to download and listen to them if we aren’t actually talking.

If someone has the audacity to call my phone number they will get my voicemail. My phone will persistently remind me of that voicemail for the rest of my life and I will hate the caller.
If I’m chatting in text or a texting app with friends and they send a voice clip I can listen to it if I’m in a good spot for it, or ignore it and pretend it never happened.

This is me too. You’re not alone 
I’m OK with occasional voice memos but please break them up if they long and full of info bc unless you want me to live-text as a response and get a 50 text monologue response I will try to listen 1 mintute at a time and respond accordingly.

Well, okay. You might be right. Not 50 messages. But 10? That’s sort of a gray area.

Yes, they are voice messages that come in text messages, where you do not have to call someone first. You can also send them to a group of people, unlike voicemails. Just to keep you on your toes.

As far as I know, I’ve never gotten a voice memo. But if I ever do, let me tell you I’m not listening to that shit.

I’ve got a few group chats on messenger and it is far too easy to accident group call everyone. As a mate of mine from school 25 years ago said “I’m not sure we’re there yet in our friendship”.

I use speech to text for pretty much everything. Including this.

This is why I refuse to install whatsapp or facebook messenger. Yes, it means I miss out particularly on my non-US friend group chats. But it also means I don’t have to give facebook any more of my communication data and I don’t accidentally spam friends from school with a misplace emoji.

You could be like my uncle and let your voicemail fill up and NEVER listen to or delete a single one. Then if someone tries to leave you a voicemail they can’t.

I just read transcripts of voice texts and voice memos and then reply via text and then they reply via voice text because it works better on their end and we converse that way until the convo is done and it’s lovely

As in, I’m the weirdo who sends Katscratch voice texts that she responds to in text-text.
