One of the biggest activities that can be admired on the Facebook social network are comments, which abound depending on the topic that has been published on a specific wall. The messages that we will admire there are conventional, that is, that they had to be typed on the keyboard.
However Is there the possibility of leaving voice messages like we do on our mobile phone?
