Google Phone gets emoji sounds: laughing, farting and other sound effects (video)
Google has updated the Google Phone app and added sound effects to the Android dialer. This allows users to press one of the six Audio Emoji buttons during a phone call to play a short audio signal for both parties to the conversation.
Thus, the user will be able to convey their attitude to the conversation or the last sentence they heard without words. To express your emotions, you will be able to make sounds of clapping, laughing, crying (sad trombone), partying, drumming, and… farting. You can access the buttons during a call by tapping the option in the additional dialing menu or using the small checkbox located at the bottom.
After the user selects the icon, Google Phone will play the corresponding animation and sound effect lasting several seconds.
“Express emotions and moods with sounds such as applause, laughter, sad trombone, and more with emojis that you can tap during a conversation,” Google explains.
To prevent conversations from turning into a continuous exchange of sound effects, there is a limit to how often you can use sounds. There should be a certain period of time between them.
The Audio Emoji feature is currently being rolled out via the Google Phone update (version 128) in the beta channel. It is likely to be launched for all users in the coming weeks.
