voice message
Audio left behind
A voice message is an audio recording left for someone, typically through a phone system or messaging app.
Unlike voicemail, which implies a formal inbox system, voice message often refers to recordings sent through text-based platforms: She sent a voice message instead of typing it out.
The format suits situations where speaking is easier than writing.
