The Rise of Audio Sharing: Voice Messages Gain Popularity.

Voice notes, also known as audio messages, are becoming increasingly popular for personal and professional communication, with around 30% of respondents communicating via voice note weekly, daily, or multiple times a day. The rising popularity of voice notes could be due to COVID-related isolation, long-distance bonding, or the efficiency of walking and talking with no scheduling required. Voice notes are beloved for their intimacy, convenience, and ability to convey humor, drama, and vivid imagery. The science behind voice notes shows that they allow for rapid information extraction and contribute to significantly better bonds across age groups. As the technology gets integrated into more apps, dishing via voice memo is likely here to stay.
