A Better Way to Send Message on Messaging Apps

I see it everywhere. They do it differently and it raises thinking and a lot of questions. Why do it that way? 

This post answer some of the questions:

The push-to-talk I knew

So it is push-to-talk (PTT), same as the technology before the 90’s. I lived through the late 80’s and I saw the remnants of HAM radio where people talk on a channel then EB (eyeball) afterwards. Yes, the eyeball came from that era. That term was also used by the game ‘clans' of the 2000’s with their grand eye ball (GEB). The hypebes millennials now call it grand meetup.
 

Pros

• Easier than typing with a difficult character set or special keyboard
• You cannot forward voice message like a screenshot would
• Voice can have emotion compare to message with or without emojis

Cons

• There are no cons, it is a good feature lol

Personally though, I never listen to any voice message sent to any messaging app. I find it stupid. It should only be used for a very important situation requiring that, e.g. you hear moaning from behind a tree, or you need to conceal your tape recorder phone and doing some kind of sting operation getting evidence.

In terms of photos, this could be a picture of a girl enjoying a chat through her phone.

These now also are people chatting on their phone.

Doing it like that in a public place especially at public transportation is just not the way to go. You send a text message so people around you will not hear the conversation. In Japan they never talk on the train, which is of course what being a good commuter is about. You also want your privacy and be nuisance to others. 

If you want to talk, there's one phone feature you can use. It is what a phone is invented for in the first place: call feature.

You can be holding your phone normally like this cheery fellow.

If you gonna be talking loud as well, hold your phone correctly. You are not saving voice messages on the app too. You also skip the single-channel type of communication. You get the feedback faster than waiting for the 'Seen' and return message because the person is sure to be on the other line. What if the person could not reach the phone for a quick reply? Historically, that is what the voice machine was for. Don't be too quick going back to PTT radio communication when there's the telephone communication closer to the technology at hand. You are still using a phone.
