Why Use Voice Messages?

Using voice messages on WhatsApp is intuitive and can be a great convenience in many situations.

For instance, when you need to convey complex concepts or thoughts, rather than spending time typing out a lengthy text, it's much easier and quicker to express them through a voice recording.

This feature not only simplifies the process of communication but also allows you to convey emotions and tones, elements often lost in written communication.
