Generally I prefer talking. If the content is not important then, I would send msg.

I mostly use messages to make plans with my friends.
But recently I started to use voice recordes on whatsapp.. I feel like it's between messages and calling, so it's easy to make plans❤

I mostly send messages. They are more available for messages because they usually work during that time.

I prefer to send messages, because we're always too busy to see each other, so we make plans via text.
