Bug description

The duration time and time sent are mirrored in the Android App, but fine in the Desktop App. I.e. (Android App) audio received: timestamp left, duration right ... audio sent: duration left, timestamp right For messages (received and sent) however, the timestamp is always to the left.

Android App:

Desktop App:

Actually, the current way is also not particularly intuitive to distinguish between duration and timestamp, especially for audios between 10 and 24 minutes. Apart from that, is there a differnce between 1:05 as minutes and 1:05 as hours? Why not just have the proper time measurement after the duration: 1:05 min ... 1:05:45 h ? This would make identifying information much easier.

Steps to reproduce

1. Sent an audio to someone
2. Receive an audio back

Actual result: For received audios, the timestamp is left and duration is right Expected result: For received audios, the duration is left and timestamp is right (and duration and timestamp are clearly distinguishable)

Device info

Device: Samsung Galaxy S8 Android version: 9 Signal version: 6.6.3

I tripped over this issue many times as well. This bug is still present in Signal 6.16.2.

The timestamp for received audio messages is in a different place than for text messages. Signal-Desktop does this correctly. In Signal-Android they're switched around:

Still an issue in 6.18.3 It is also working correctly with the iOS app.

Assign me this issue. I am working on it.

@manishjangra1 I cannot assign... is it possible to get some progress on this as it is a daily annoyance, and I presume a minor fix to correct the display location.
