‘Audiomojis’ for Google’s Phone app spotted in its latest beta

What do you want to know

• “Audiomojis” have been spotted in the code of the latest beta version of the Google Phone app, detailing full-screen sound reactions during a call.
• The code highlights six audiomojis that users may receive first, such as “sad, clap, party popper, laugh, drumroll, and poop.”
• The functionality of the Phone app is quite similar to the “Screen Effects” that Google rolled out for Messages earlier in February.

It looks like Google has moved forward with a new form of “emoji reaction” for the Phone app.

According to LeSpAndroida new “Audiomoji” reaction has been spotted in the latest beta 124 version of the Google Phone app (via Android Font). The tipster said that various code files discovered during the deep scan pointed to the app’s upcoming “sound reactions” feature. It has been found that users will soon be able to enjoy screen effects with sound while on a call with another person.

The application code displayed six audiomojis:

• Sad
• Applause
• Table bomb
• Laugh
• Drum roll
• Pooh

Meanwhile, the tipster is adding this “sound reaction” feature, which would work similarly to emoji reactions in Google Messages. This is likely because audiomojis produce a cute or funny animation when sent to another person.

Finally, TheSpAndroid is not entirely clear Or Google plans to implement this feature – and to what extent. They state that the code doesn’t offer much information, perhaps because most of it is still missing. Additionally, it is unclear where and how these animations may appear. It’s currently speculated that Google might offer them through the caller screen, or that they might only be “available to users with the ‘Call Screen’ feature.”

The message indicates that the sound reactions in the Phone application were teased for the first time back in September. This was during the app’s 114 beta and only offered the project’s internal codename and basic code strings, so any further tinkering caused it to crash.

Google Messages began rolling out “screen effects” for certain words and phrases earlier in February. The company said phrases like “I love you” and “It’s snowing” will trigger a full-screen effect on your screen when chatting. “Reaction effects” were part of this update, bringing a similar effect to your screen when you use one of the ten most popular emojis.
