Bug description
After forwarding a voice message from chat A to chat B and playing the message in chat B, the next voice message from chat A will autoplay.
Steps to reproduce
- Record two voice messages in chat A.
- Forward the fist voice message to chat B.
- Play the voice message in chat B.
Actual result: After the first voice message plays, the second voice message in chat B will autoplay.
Expected result: No second voice message should play.
Note: If you create another voice message in chat B after forwarding, the correct behaviour (plays the second message in chat B) will occur.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce the issue on iOS by recording two voice messages in chat A, forwarding the first to chat B, and playing it there; start by tracing forwarded voice-message playback and the next-message selection. Done means the second message from chat A does not autoplay, while the expected behavior for messages created in chat B remains unchanged.
