"A voice note is just like talking on the phone but better," says Susie Jones, a 19-year-old student. "You get the benefits of hearing your friend's voice but comes with no pressures so it's a more polite way of communicating".

Gross, voice notes are the worst of both worlds.

Text for things that are information critical, phone calls for things that are time critical.

Email for business (and keep the original chain going instead of starting a new one every time you think of something else to add!), text messages for associates, chat apps for friends and family.

Anyone who disagrees is wrong.

I mostly agree, but I think voice notes for close friends/family probably have a point.

At this point, I would also argue that texts/emails are also for time critical things since voice calls are essentially dead at this point.

99.99999% of the phone calls I get are spam. I haven't gotten a new voice mail in like 6 months.

They are the worst unless you want to hear that person's voice.
