Does Matrix have a client that makes it easy to send voice messages like Whatsapp and Telegram? This is the only thing stopping us from using Matrix fulltime.

Short answer: no.

Long answer: there’s not even a simple native client that can even try to replace these apps. Often you see recommendations about some cartoonish app called Fluffy. No it’s no good. Every client is half baked, half cooked other than main client which was a electron monstrosity last time I checked. So the client space is still a mess (other than the org changing the name of its main client something -> riot -> element -> next name change awaited) compared to other personal messaging cum audio/video call apps. But a promising mess. Or so I hope.
