Voice message in imessage doesn’t record first 5 seconds

When trying to record a voice message to send in iMessage the first 5 or so seconds stay as a totally flat line and nothing is recorded until after that. I’ve tried with and without my airpod pros and it keeps doing it. I’m using an iPhone 11.

We understand that your device is not able to capture the first 5 seconds of your audio message. While it isn't inherently assured that an update will resolve the issue, updating to the latest version of iOS for your device can help isolate potential software issues. Kindly secure a backup and update.
