For those who have had Persona conversations, how does varying audio latency affect immersion? Is there a recommended chat service?

What audio latency?
There's regular latency due to distance, just like on a phone call if you're chatting with someone halfway across the world.
But on a normal connection, audio and the persona should always be in sync, the same way audio and video are over Zoom or FaceTime.
There shouldn't be any extra latency for the audio only.
Video and audio aren't always quite in sync in Zoom, in my experience. But you're right, the overall latency of the connection should've been my question.
They aren't always, but they are on a normal connection. It's only when packets are getting dropped or delayed that they temporarily get out of sync, as the audio and video streams compensate in different ways.
I don't use it very frequently but when from the few times I did I can't recall any imperceptible lag via Apple iMessage.
Good to know. I should try iMessage video chat more, in general.
