15 Pro won’t autoplay music after Audio Message is played

I feel like this is an extremely dumb thing to even have to complain about, but my iPhone 15 Pro just won’t autoplay music after I listen to an audio message. It will pause my Spotify when I listen to the message, then keep it paused once the message is done. I was under the impression that music would continue playing after the A.M if you didn’t physically press pause yourself.

It makes no sense, as it’ll work perfectly fine if I try to call or FaceTime someone. I’ll be listening to music, press the name on my contacts list, it’ll call and once the call is done, it’ll continue Spotify. But it won’t do it with an Audio Message.

Let me know if I’m dumb, or rightfully annoyed.
