Hello folks, so I recently got this new iPhone 15 pro, on iOS 17.5.1.
Each time I try to play an audio iMessage, like I always did on my old iPhone, it doesn't work now, it reads the transcription of it, even with how messed up it sometimes is, but it doesn't play nothing, I have to turn voiceOver off and tap around the screen randomly to play the message.
is that the only workaround? or is there something I'm missing here?
and thanks for any help people can provide.

Hey! Sorry to hear that…
Hey! Sorry to hear that audio iMessages aren't playing on your new iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 17.5.1. It's not just you, others have reported this issue too.
Try force shutting the Messages app and restarting your phone to see if that helps. If not, your workaround of turning VoiceOver off and tapping around the screen might be the only solution for now.
sadly nope
unfortunately it didn't work, so it's either turning voiceOver off, or saving it to voice memos and playing it that way, better than nothing I guess.
try backing out and playing again
I sometimes have this issue, but have found that backing out of the thread then attempting to play it again afterward helps.
I tried that
for some reason nothing seems to work, even turning off iMessages and turning it back on doesn't do the trick
