The article originates from Why Sending WeChat Voice Messages Is Not Always Okay
Some people use voice messages on WeChat and this arises different opinions. Sometimes, it’s surly not convenient to read one voice message and when the voice message is over one minute, it’s a disaster for the receiver. Moreover, you can’t pause in the middle of playing a voice message or scrubbing the audio to jump to another point in time. You can’t always catch every word like when you read one word message and when the conversation is very crucial, you may miss something important. Try to send word messages instead of voices messages unless you have to.
As for me, I seldom use voice messages and never send voice messages to unfamiliar WeChat friends. I might send voice messages to my very close friends when I’m walking or when they send me voice messages firstly. And the voice messages I sent was very short like 2 or 3 seconds.
Whether it is proper to send one voice message depends on the situation of the receiver and the relationship. If you can confirm the receiver is convenient and you’re in a close relationship, it’s ok to send voice messages. But be sure not to send very long voice messages.
