"Streamline Your Android 14 Experience with the One-Tap Mute Shortcut"

Android 14 introduces a convenient one-tap shortcut for muting audio in the output switcher, allowing users to easily mute and unmute their devices with a simple tap on the speaker icon. This feature is absent in Android 13, where muting requires sliding the volume bar all the way down. The media player in Android 14 also includes new visual elements such as a wave animation when playing/pausing, suggesting potential redesigns in the future.
