Voicemails, I used to leave them and then I became the person who didn't like having to remember the pin to access said VM, also I had to go through each one in chronicle order as opposed to the ability to select which missed call msg I wanted to hear.

In addition friends mailboxes said full and they never deleted bc they didn't want ppl to be able to leave a msg. They were send me a text if I don't answer and I can get back to you when convenient. Or call twice so I know it's an emergency.

I like the voice notes. I get to listen at my leisure, I select which one I want to access, I don't need to remember my pin. I at times get distracted by my environment whilst on a call, so VN often allows me to be present. Best part, I get to easily slide to the timestamp part of the message, I want to listen to again, for clarity and to help with my response.

Other favorite thing, when the voice note feels like an actual conversation and I start responding "yeah, wow" or "mmmhum, I agree with that"

I actually think I would like that to be a feature, like in Google docs you can leave a comment through the doc. I want to leave a voice note comment at particular time stamps lol

Saves the person from having to keep going back to ensure they didn't miss anything from sent msg as they leave a new one.

I think this Is reasonable. It seems companies are making voicemails easier to leave/retrieve like voice notes. I don’t need to do anything to access a voicemail these days but press play on the pop up.

I also want to reiterate that I don’t demand friends and family leave a message…unless they feel like it. My request only applies to people who know they not in my contacts list. Like, do are you and why do you want my attention? I don’t feel this way about strangers when I’m out in the world. I have more cues to read.

Absolutely understand that especially when people don't have your contact. In addition, if someone calls you out the blue and you don't immediately have an interest or curiosity to talk.

I've gotten to a point where I will answer all unknown numbers but I don't greet with my name anymore. Telemarketers get, no thank you please remove me from call list.

I used to not answer unknown calls but then for some reason a few important calls come through as suspected spam (medical and previous internet provider) not sure why. So I think that's why I answer now.
