You know how you use your iPhone to chat with your friends or loved ones all the time? Most of us just type text messages back and forth, although typing long messages can get tiring. Sometimes, it feels like my fingers are going to fall off from all that typing.
That’s why I sometimes like using audio messages instead. They are so much easier and faster to send. Plus, they let me express my emotions better than text, and iOS 17 makes sending them a breeze.
