Bug description

v7.26(301) When an audio message has completed recording and is sent using the send button, in 10% of cases is will not be sent and the small circle indicating transmission keeps spinning forever.

Steps to reproduce

• record an audio message
• send it using the blue send button
• a small round spinning circle appears indicating that the message is being sent to the server

Actual result:

• the circle will spin indefinitely and the message is not sent

Expected result:

• the message should be sent

After quitting and reopening the app it will attempt to send the message again (as expected) and in 50% of cases it is then sent correctly. Multiple tries are needed in most cases.

I am aware this may indicate a bad internet connection or a backend issue, but on the desktop (macOS) version, same network, this never occurs.
