voice notes

Spoken memo clips

Voice notes are audio messages recorded and sent through messaging apps, typically as an alternative to typing.

Unlike voicemails left when calls go unanswered, voice notes are sent directly in a chat thread: She sent a two-minute voice note explaining the whole situation.

They've become popular for conveying tone or when typing feels too slow.
