It would be very useful to have the ability to disable receiving voice notes from specific contacts or chats. Many users don't always have the time or a quiet environment to listen to audio messages. In these situations, voice notes can be inconvenient compared to text messages, which can be read instantly and discreetly. A per-chat setting that prevents contacts from sending voice notes (or automatically asks them to send text instead) would improve accessibility, productivity, and communication preferences without affecting users who enjoy using voice messages. This would give users more control over how they communicate while preserving flexibility on a conversation-by-conversation basis.
