Yes, that’s right. The things people will do to avoid picking up the phone. LinkedIn has announced its messaging system now has a voice feature that allows members to leave a minute long voice message for the intended contact.
Here’s what LinkedIn had to say:
- Easily message on-the-go: People speak about 4 times faster than they type, making voice messaging great for explaining longer or more complex ideas without the time & involvement of typing & editing a message. It’s also helpful for when you’re on the move & don’t have time to stop to type.
- Get to it when you can: Leaving a voice message can often better for a recipient than calling them since they can listen & respond when they have a free moment.
- Better express yourself: Speaking in your own voice allows you to build a more personal connection & is a more effective form of communication. It’s easier for your tone & personality to come through.
Here’s how to record:
- Tap the microphone icon in the mobile messaging keyboard, then tap & hold on the microphone in the circle to record your voice message & release your finger to send.
- If you want to cancel before sending, slide your finger away from the microphone icon while holding it down.
