@vibhorMaheshwari From your issue, could I request the full code that you’ve implemented for review?

@vibhorMaheshwari We have checked with the relevant team and found that, by design, the SDK does not provide the duration of audio files. However, there is a workaround to display the audio duration:

  1. After completing the audio recording, save the audio duration in the message metadata.
  2. To display the audio duration, extract this information from the message metadata.

@SocialPlus_Support
Thanks for your support, we have fixed this by using metadata.
