Google could spice up your calls with ‘Audiomojis’

Emojis are a fun way to add a nice emotional pop to your messages. However, what if you could add them to your phone calls? Well, Google is looking to do something similar to this with what it calls Audiomojis. We are still learning what Audiomojis are, but a new report states that Google wants to bring them to its first-party phone app.

Google, as always, is hard at work adding new features to its products in order to make them better. For example, today, Google announced new features for Chrome that could make searching much better. These features are rolling out today.

Google is working on Audiomojis for the Google Phone app

Right now, this feature could be in the very early stages of production. So, you will want to take this news cautiously. There’s no guarantee that Google will launch this feature to the public.

So, you’re talking to her friend on the phone, and they say the cheesiest dad joke you’ve ever heard. Wouldn’t you want to add a nice laughing sound effect? Or, if you are about to share some exciting news, don’t you think that a drum roll sound effect will be perfect? Well, this is the thinking behind Audiomojis.

Discovered in the latest beta version of the Google Phone app (version 124), Audiomojis are short audio sound effects that you could play during a voice call on the Google Phone app. The term Audiomoji is rather odd, but it does make sense. An emoji is a bit of media that adds just a bit to the messages you are sending. Audiomojis can do the same thing. A short sound effect could be useful when trying to make a point.

The number of Audiomojis available at launch will be vastly dwarfed by the number of existing visual emojis. According to the report, Google could be working on launching this feature with only six sounds. These sounds are drum roll, sad, applause, party pooper, laugh, and poop.

Even though these are audio clips, the Audiomojis could also come with a visual aspect as well. Google May accompany the Audiomojis with short animations as well. Below is an example of one possible animation.

At this point, at this point, Google is still testing this feature. There’s no telling when the company is going to officially bring it to the public. In any case, it will still be interesting to see this feature in action.
