Why does an audio file that is sent in message stop after roughly a minute ? I see the whole file is there, and if i scroll forward before it prematurely stops, it will keep playing. But only for a minute. To hear a whole 3 minute song, I have to stop and scroll ahead just a tiny bit and do that 3 or 4 times .

Hello!
I don’t know why that is happening, but can you share the audio file to another app, such as Notes, which should prevent this from happening?
Also, force restart your device. That might help: Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
Have a great day!
I’m glad it works, if only somewhat.
You can leave your feedback with Apple about this issue here: Product Feedback - Apple
I would instruct your friends to do the same, as that may improve the chance of it being fixed sooner.
Have a great rest of your weekend!
That works, but it still seems odd the iPhone message won't completely play the audio clip. These are audio clips I make from my computer (live band mixes), then put on my desktop (mac book pro), which is the only place I can send to my band mates through the message app. They are usually from 3 to 5 mb. They all receive the full file, yet their phones as well seem to stop playing the file after about a minute. I shared with them that you can move the file to notes, and it will play the whole file, but that seems like an extra step and can cause a bit of confusion as we message each other regarding the music.
Why do audio files stop playing after one minute in Messages app?
