No, but if I lived in a place where people speak English, of course. Here in Brazil we don't usually send a voice message. We use WhatsApp for talking more than phone calls.

Yes, I recorded some WhatsApp audios to my English teacher to improving my English level. I think this is a really good idea.

Hello
I use English in my phone calls with my foreign friend. We use English to communicate when we fail to explain something in our native languages.
