Hold Your Applause (or Fart): Google Phone App Gets "Audio Emoji" UpdateCalling all pranksters (and those easily amused)! An upcoming update to the Google Phone app might have you both laughing and groaning. The update introduces "Audio Emoji," a feature that lets you play sound effects during phone calls that both you and the other caller can hear.
Six Sounds to Spice Up Your Calls:
While the usefulness of this feature might be debatable, the options are certainly...interesting. Choose from clapping, laughter, crying (trombone sound effect!), a party popper sound, a drum roll, and yes, even a fart noise. These "Audio Emojis" can be accessed through the overflow menu or a dedicated button during a call.
A Novelty That Might Wear Thin?
Hmm, while the initial silliness might be tempting, I question the long-term practicality of Audio Emojis. Will these sounds add genuine meaning to conversations, or will they become annoying distractions? Perhaps a version 2 with user-created sounds or pre-recorded messages might be more useful? I can see a button that says Ahah, which I could press occasionally or better still, play automatically at random intervals 🙂
Limited Use and Google I/O Await
It could get very tedious very quickly, so thankfully, there’s a cooldown period to prevent excessive spamming of these sound effects. 
Listen out for more details and the potential for Audio Emojis in the very near future.
