Whenever I get a vocal message I just ignore it and write back ”sorry, I’m not going to open that because I am in a delicate situation, could you please resend as text?” People being lazy doesn’t mean they can expect me to disrupt my existence to receive their lazy communication,if it isn’t worth their time to type it then it isn’t worth my time to read it.
- beobab 9y agoI don't use the voice features of whatsapp, but my wife often does. Nuances of voice communication, such as "how worried does X sound" are important to both her and the group she is in.
