avoid speeches
What is the appropriate length of a voice message? The truth is that there is no correct answer, but Bryant suggests limiting them to one or two minutes. so as not to cause discomfort in the receiver, which can occur once this barrier has been exceeded. The specialist believes that everything lies in the extension, assuring that “if it is too long to write it, but too short for a call, you will have found the optimal point of voice messages”. Or what is the same: to send a minimum of words, it is best to use the text; for audio with the length of a podcast, it is preferable to resort to the old-fashioned call. And of course, if you are the one who receives the speeches, it recommends playing them at 1.5x or 2x to reduce disturbance.
Or failing that, split it
Okay, we know that the calls are becoming less and less frequent. That’s why Bryant suggests that if you can’t keep your message short, at least consider dividing them into several shorter ones and submitting them separately. This facilitates the situation for the receiver, who in this way can decide between listening to them continuously or with time lapses between one and the other. Easier for everyone!
Also applies to questions
Many users take advantage of voice messages to send questions. One, two or even three are fine, but there are those who send so many that they force the receiver to listen to the message on numerous occasions or that they are simply forgotten by the same, remaining unanswered and resulting in a failed communication. To avoid this, WhatsApp recommends reducing the number of questions asked in the same audio.
