Description

Today I couldn’t hear a voice message.
I initially thought there was a problem with the software.
Just afterwards I realized that the audio volume was near to 0.

So a visual advice about raising volume is helpful.

I noticed that Forkgram (a fork of Telegram) solves this problem by drawing attention to the volume balance bar that automatically pop-up when you press the play button (if the volume is low).

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating voice-message playback and the device-volume UI, then determine how a near-zero volume state is detected; done means a clear visual volume-raising prompt appears when playback starts in that state.
