Bug description
After sending a voice message, both the microphone and camera icons disappear. I am unable to send another voice message. To make them reappear, I have to exit and reenter the chat, or type and erase a message. I've tried clearing the app cache and uninstalling/reinstalling. This does not fix the problem. This happens in all my chats with all my contacts.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in a Signal Android chat on Android 16 after sending a voice message, then review the linked debug log for the UI state change. Done means the microphone and camera icons remain available so another voice message can be sent without leaving and reentering the chat.
