Bug description
Hello,
I don't know if it is a bug or intentional but when recording a voice message it stops recording when rotating the screen.
Steps to reproduce
-Start recording a Voice Message without locking the recording.
-Turn your phone in order to rotate the screen.
Actual result: The current recording will stop.
Expected result: It would be great if the Signal app would turn of the screen rotation feature while recording in order to prevent the cancelling mentioned above.
Device info
Device: iPhone X
iOS version: 13.3
Signal version: 3.1.1.1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on an iPhone X running iOS 13.3 with Signal 3.1.1.1: begin recording a voice message, rotate the phone, and observe the recording state. Done means rotating the screen no longer cancels the active recording, while the existing recording flow remains functional.
