Whether due to lack of time or even laziness, many people prefer to communicate through audio messages on WhatsApp.
The feature is extremely popular, not only among personal account users, but also among companies that use the app as a customer service channel.
Since the end of February, usage of the app has increased by 148% worldwide. It is the highest rate among the various service channels normally offered to the customer, which are: online chat, comments on social networks, SMS, e-mail and telephone. This information was released by Zendesk, a company that has a service platform in the cloud, in its study called Benchmark Snapshot.
