possible audio messages bug?

Thought I'd post a possible bug here and wondering if anyone has experienced this. What reminded me of it is the comment about audio messages posted in the IOS16 accessibility bug blog post. I'm not big on audio messaging but I have a friend who prefers sending me texts in audio format do to his disability so I accomodate. I've been having this annoying issue since ios15. What is happening is I use to be able to hold the phone up to my ear to listen to an audio message in fact the voiceover hint says you can still do that, however when I do this not all of the time but 99% of the time the messages app will crash and bring me back to the homescreen. The work around is to double tap on the message itself and then hold the phone up to my ear to listen.
Anyone else experienced this?

I know people probably don't use audio messaging enough and that's probably why it's not being noticed.
