I've actively told any friend that send me a voice note that if you want me to respond to you don't send it as a voice note, I won't listen to it. It requires me to put headphones in or play it on speaker, and neither of those are happening unless it's important.
hard agree, voice messages are the worst of both worlds, you can't look at it and get the gist of what's said, and you have to deal with listening to it, while requiring more bandwidth to use.
I've told my friends instead of pressing the voice button, just press the speech to text button, I'm more likely to read a wall of text than listen to a voice message.
