Same here. I moved abroad and everyone here uses whatsapp. Voice recordings are extremely common and popular.
I just wish slack added the same feature, so I can drop a recording into a channel, instead of typing a wall of text.
Actually, I find audio messages more like writing, in that one can think about what they want to say and there's no pressure to say something "right this moment", as with a telephone call. Likewise, the person receiving the audio message can listen to it when it suits them.
