With voice messages, why does Apple continue to keep that feature so at the forefront?

Voice messages as in the iMessage feature? I have never used that and probably never will. I'd call you if I wanted to talk to you.

Voicemail as in the Phone feature is obviously incredibly important to them since Live Voicemail was one of the major features of iOS 17.

Sorry, but I repeat that no one in Italy uses it. Everyone uses Imessage voice messages or, even worse, Whatsapp. And then I wondered if it made sense. Apparently in the USA it is widely used instead!

That seems very unlikely. There are 60 million people in Italy.

I find it hard to believe that a majority or even a minority of adults are communicating this way.

Plus the average age in Italy is like 70.
