WhatsApp use a confusing mute icon?
Complaint
Media controls use inconsistent visual cues. Camera uses a filled background to indicate ON, while microphone status relies primarily on icon changes, making states harder to scan at a glance.
What was done
Adopt a consistent state system where all media controls use the same visual treatment for ON and OFF states, enabling faster recognition and reducing cognitive effort.
