Q: iPhone 7 fades in audio messages
Hi guys
My girlfriend got the new iPhone 7 yesterday, she had the iPhone 6 before. She's very happy with it except one little thing that I can't find the cause:
She is using a lot of audio messages in WhatsApp. The problem is, starting with the iPhone 7, when playing an audio message on the speakers, it starts at very low volume and then automatically fades in to full volume within a few seconds. The problem is: She always missing the beginning of the message because the volume is so low. It does that with every audio message in WhatsApp.
The strange thing is: When playing an audio message in iMessage, it starts at full volume, but when hitting the little speaker icon while playing to turn the sound off, then hitting again to go back to the external speakers, then it also does the "fade in" effect.
Can't find the cause for that and it's pretty annoying.
Anyone got an idea what that could be? Or can anyone reproduce the behavior?
By the way: I don't see this behavior on my iPhone 6S (both have iOS 10.0.1). My 6S is perfectly playing the message in full volume from the start on. I checked every little setting in Preferences but couldn't find anything that could cause this "fade in" effect.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
