Emojis are today's generation's means of expressing emotion. Emoticon symbols are frequently used to represent any emotion digitally. There are emojis representing practically every emotion, including happiness, rage, annoyance, sickness, and grief, that allow you to convey. With emojis the most popular, Google has chosen to develop "audiomojis."

Highlights: 

• Emojis and emoticons are widely used for digital expressions.
• Google is developing "Audiomojis" for its Phone app, allowing users to react to calls with sound effects and animations.
• Audiomojis, discovered in the beta version, offer a fun way to personalize phone conversations

According to code discovered in AssembleDebug's most recent beta version, Google is developing a new feature for its Phone app that will let users react to phone calls with sound effects and animations.

The function, internally dubbed "Audiomojis," allows users to play one of six sound effects during a phone call: sad, applaud, celebration, laugh, drumroll, and feces. Each sound effect will trigger an animation on the screen.

The Audiomojis appear to have been in development since September 2023, under the term "sound reactions." Google eventually erased signs of the functionality, but the most recent beta shows that it is still in development, but under a different name.

It is not yet known how Audiomojis will be activated in the Phone app. One suggestion made by the code sleuth who uncovered the function is that Google limit it to calls filtered via the app's Call Screen feature.

Another question is whether the sound effect and animation will be heard and viewed by both participants in the phone call, or only by the person who activates the Audiomoji. Seeing the animations would need assistance from both ends.

The use of sound effects and animations in phone conversations would offer a sense of fun and personalization. Emoji are currently used to react to messages in apps such as Messages, so introducing the notion to calls makes natural.

Google has not officially introduced Audiomojis, so there is no certainty that the functionality will appear in the public version of the Phone app. However, given Google's recent emphasis on adding funny replies to its messaging services, the corporation appears to be interested in infusing more personality into communication.
