Google wants to make your phone conversations more Emoji-like with this new feature
Google is giving its Phone app a playful new feature called « Audio Emoji. » This fun new option lets you liven up your phone calls with a bit of playful sound.
According to 9to5Google, Audio Emoji is now appearing in the beta version of the Google Phone app (version 128) and should roll out widely in the next few weeks. The feature was first seen in development under the name « Sound Reaction » back in September of last year by AssembleDebug, but later fleshed out back in February.
Here’s how it works: during a call, simply choose from six emoji options — clapping, laughter, a party horn, crying, a poop emoji, or the classic « ba dum tss » sting.
