Hinge is one app that recently added the feature, and for some, it's been pleasantly wholesome!

For others, wholesomely...weird!!!

The gay dating app Grindr has had voice messages for a while now, and, umm........

Some people are using the update to show off their "talents":

Others, to ICONICALLY mess with their matches:

And to perform their little bits, which are honestly A+:

I’m enjoying these Hinge voice prompts 🤷🏼‍♀️

Regardless, dating app voice messages are bringing some of us endless hours of entertainment...

...and striking cold, hard fear in the hearts of others:

you don’t know true fear until you’re sent a voice message on grindr

Either way, a big thanks to the apps for giving us this Content™. It's a nice distraction from the horror that is online dating. 😌
