WithWWDCjust about a month away , you ’re going to read a good deal of story about how the newest feature in iOS 18 are copies of something Google or Samsung already have in Android . But we ’re willing to bet that the late feature film Google is roll out out to Android exploiter will never ever show up after an iPhone update .
Asspotted by 9to5Google , Google calls the new feature Audio Emoji and as the name propose , the feature add together sounds to popular emoji so people can try what they would normally wait at . If you ’re re - reading that sentence with a quizzical font , you ’re not alone . It ’s a very dumb lineament . The emojis included are :
When choose during a call , they will play the follow corresponding sound : laughing , clapping , party cheering , sad trombone , break wind , and a ba - dum - tiss percussion sting . You read that right — you could now lend a farting noise during a call on your Pixel or Galaxy sound .
Here ’s how it works . During an active phone call , users will see a new Audio Emoji push that displays the six choice when solicit . Select one and the person you ’re talking to will find out the sound on the other oddment , and you will see a short animation as if you were texting someone and post an emoji as a reaction . 9to5Google has a video showing the six Audio Emoji and they ’re as head - scraping as you ’d expect .
Google suppose the characteristic will allow exploiter “ express emotions and climate while you ’re in a call , ” but it seems like the variety of lineament no one will ever use . I could maybe see Audio Emoji in a text edition substance but on a call ? I do n’t hump who thought this was a good idea , but I ca n’t envisage it ’s going to be a characteristic that sticks around very long .
And I can undertake that Apple will never attempt to imitate it on an iPhone .
