"Do not disturb"-mode doesn't inhibit whatsapp sounds

Dear Apple Community,


despite enabling "Do not disturb"-mode on my iPhone 12, when sending a voice message via Whatsapp, there is still a loud "beep" sound, when recording the voice message.


Shouldn't "Do not disturb" sound suppress all sounds from apps?


Kind regards,

Florian

iPhone 12, iOS 14
