Bug description

Audio messages sent from a Pixel 3 to an iPhone play at double speed (but without increased pitch). Messages to other Android phones are fine. Bug does not exist on Pixels 2 running the same OS version (9).

Playback of your own message on your Pixel 3 is normal; just not on recipient's device.

Steps to reproduce

• Push and hold audio record button
• Release to finish and send message

Actual result: iPhone recipient hears the audio message at 2x (but seemingly pitch adjusted).
Expected result: Recipient should hear the audio message as recorded.

Screenshots

Device info

Device: Google Pixel 3
Android version: 9
Signal version: 4.32.7

It is not usable at the moment

Here is a debug log from the iPhone 7. The funny thing is if you send back the voice message to the pixel from the iPhone. It plays normal

Now I'm completely confused. I tried talking half the speed so my friend with the iPhone could hear it as normal message. But the message arrives now as the original record. And I sound like a complete Idiot
