I have this on pixel 8 as well. It seems like the button animation is broken or something. At least it looks like there is very little room for the finger touch action. If you use the thumb it fails often. But if you are very careful and use index finger it works quite often as walkie talkie style. Of course you can also swipe up and lock the record but I don't like it that much . 1.6.16

Because most of the time this happens when you accidently move your finger after holding for a while. I can reproduce this when moving my finger to the right edge of the screen. Timer is counting up, microphone icon is highlighted even if I remove my finger from the screen and the file is corrupted when I click on send. I think the recording is killed the moment you hit the edge of the screen. The resulting voice message (in my example) is shown as 9 seconds long but its a corrupted file. (i.e. the two recordings with 00:07 and 00:05 seconds at the bottom)
