Do you send voice notes over WhatsApp?

[The_Ogre]

I never do it. My wife though. Damn! She'll be like "Take out some chicken" then a second one "defrost it" then again "I'll be home in 15" then "I want to start cooking when I get home". Most of the time I ignore all except the first

Text and voice notes. I use voice notes more while driving.

 

[Corrosive]

If I am driving or I know the other person is driving/busy (and its urgent) then I voicenote

 

[digitalis]

Don't like receiving them so i avoid sending them.

 

[bwana]

I dictate the message via Siri rather than sending a voice note while driving.

 

[doonit]

Yes, especially to/from my pre teen kids who live far away. It's very handy and quick

 

[Rouxenator]

No, it's a student thing.

How do you guys send voice notes while driving?

 

[Lynnith]

Yes, I love sending voice notes as I am always rushing, and end up making predictive text mistakes typos ect. With a voice note I dont have to have to have a conversation

 

[ljw1304]

No. I like to have a written record.

 

[pinball wizard]

No. I like to have a written record.

But the voice note is also stored?

 

[JoeJ]

Hate them. I get 3min long voice notes. Sometimes I need to go back and check on something they said --- no easy way to scroll through a voice note to find that phone number etc. they mentioned. It's a girl thing.

Yeah fck that. If you sent me something in a voice note and I missed it, your problem.

 

[Kloofvreter]

But I'd still like to know how people send voice notes while driving because it's easier.

Yeah and apparently you also need to hold the icon to record it while driving.

 

[Sinbad]

Yeah and apparently you also need to hold the icon to record it while driving.

With phone in a cradle that's easy. Much easier than typing.

What is the Law on Cellphones/ Smartphones while Driving?

NO driver is permitted to use a hand-held communication device while driving. This includes a cell phone, microphone or other communication devices, per the South African National Road Traffic Act.

Summary:

You may use such a device ONLY IF it is NOT being held in your hand or with any other part of your body (e.g. it may NOT be gripped under your chin either).

You may also not use the cellular phone at traffic lights even when the vehicle is not moving – if the engine is running you are considered to be driving.

Transgressing the Rules of the Road includes taking photos, browsing the internet and participation on social media platforms when driving.

Officials are NO LONGER exempted. They used to be in the past (if it was in the course of executing their official duties), but that exemption was removed from the Regulations a few years ago. So don’t let any traffic officer or metro police official try to tell you otherwise.

...

(1) No person shall drive a vehicle on a public road—

(a) while holding a cellular or mobile telephone or any other communication device in one or both hands or with any other part of the body;

(b) while using or operating a cellular or mobile telephone or other communication device unless such a cellular or mobile telephone or other communication device is affixed to the vehicle or is part of the fixture in the vehicle and remains so affixed while being used or operated, or is specially adapted or designed to be affixed to the person of the driver as headgear, and is so used, to enable such driver to use or operate such telephone or communication device without holding it in the manner contemplated in paragraph (a), and remains so affixed while being used or operated.

How do you not manage to hold the record button?
