I'm also not a big fan of voice messages in chats, but got used to it. Lately, speeding up playback (the "1.5x" or "2x" in Whatsapp) has been a true blessing for the receiver end.

Voice messages are also useful when writing is not physically viable (ie. while cooking). I even tend to prefer it when I want to develop an idea while delivering the message and have the message development process itself registered as part of what I'm sending.

I tried the speeding up but it feels so rushed. The same way people always seem to be in a rush to pack their stuff in Aldi/Lidl stores (because the staff are always in a hurry). It feels like pressure and I avoid it for that reason.
