Voice notes issue on WhatsApp for Macbook

I use the app version for WhatsApp on my Macbook. I'm sending voice notes and I can hear them on my Macbook, but the person receiving them said they can't. I tried to listen to it from my phone and I can't either. A message pops up that says "This audio is not available because something is wrong with the audio file".


I read online that it's happening to several users due to the latest update for the app on Macbook, but can't find any official information. Does anyone know how to fix this? Maybe removing the latest update, but not sure if that's even possible... thanks!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.2
