[PS4] Zone Chat still got auto-join?

From the patch note last night it seems this should be fixed? But I still got auto-join into zone chat after character load.

So, to reproduce: start app, login, load character, leave zone chat, logout, close app, restart app, login, load the same character - > still in zone chat.

Is this the desired behavior described by the patch note? If not, Pls fix.
Voice Chat
You will no longer automatically start transmitting in Area channels unless you choose to, and the enable/disable microphone button will now accurately represent its setting

    Same here, I'm assuming that some are happy in the area voice chat, but some are chatting to people not in the game and i am not convinced that they know that.

    Please revert to not joining area chat at all unless you actively choose to, not the new intended behaviour of muted mic. It is actively anti-social rather than encouraging the social aspect.

    I wonder if some of them are on PS5 with their mics still set on the default 'on' setting and they probably don't even realize it.
    I haven't been seeing the bugged voice chat weirdness but I have been hearing quite a few that seem not to realize they're broadcasting their screaming baby to everyone in game. So this could indeed be the cause.

    to add to this - a feature request (or reversion of the existing function)

    It is really irritating when grouping up or joining a group to now need to go into the group to enable the mic. The amount of times people tell me they are chatting on mute, or I have to go out of my guild list grabbing people for a trial and have to go into the group chat to enable the mic so that I do not seem rude or ignoring people.

    Please don't add to area chat by default, and enable the mic again by default when going into group chats

    thank you!
