    You are laughably incorrect. Do you have kids? They are face timing and sending audio messages constantly. Maybe cut the snark or take it back over to Reddit?

    Some Gen Z hate audio messages and will not listen to them out of protest, others will send them every day. For most, they're just sprinkled in occasionally in primarily text chats (with their friends - likely not with anyone they're not close with) when there is some reason to send a voice message, e.g. conveying emotion or when typing is difficult.

    That's my experience! n≈30 Gen Z.

    I'm (relatively late) Gen Z & some of my friends incessantly send voice audios via iMessage to me instead of texting and I hate it. Seeing their iMessage logs with other people is terrifying. It's nothing but 30-60sec voice memos back and forth.

      The main problem with voice is that you can't read (i.e. consume) them at a glance like you can text. The problem with text of course is that it conveys no emotion, and therefore everyone "invents" what they "think" the emotion is, and if it's some stranger you always assume negative emotion because "other internet guy" is always by default, a troll.
