Are they an Android user? If so, report this to Apple...

Thank you for the screenshot.


File Size:

172 KB*** in size is questionable for an audio file. I’d expect it to be somewhere in the MBs. —not KBs. So, ask the to sent it to you again. Also, see if they can send it as an attachment, and if you get any issue opening it that way.
