audio emojis for Android.. Over the past several months, Google Messages has added a plethora of features. In December, the company announced a few of these additions in honor of hitting one billion RCS users on the app. Aside from that, the messaging app has also gotten a few graphic upgrades, such as animated emoji replies. By providing a variety of sound effects during phone conversations, it appears that Google is attempting to broaden the range of emotions akin to those seen in its Phone app.
Breaking Down the Audiomoji Experience
Code sleuth AssembleDebug wrote for TheSpAndroid that code pointing to this specific feature—which Google is allegedly calling Audiomoji—was found within the Google Phone app version 124 (beta). SmartDroid.de, a German site, was the first to report on this development, also working with AssembleDebug.

Returning to the function at hand, it essentially allows you to add sound-based replies in between phone conversations. There are six options available in total. You may listen to the sounds that AssembleDebug was able to extract from the Google Phone app’s code by downloading the Ogg files below:
Somber Applause
Joy, Laughter, Drumroll, Poop
AssembleDebug also claims that each of these Audiomojis has an accompanying animation, which may be seen on the screen in addition to the sound effects. Only one of these animations could be accessed, though, as the source extracted the drumroll animation’s image from the Phone app’s source code.
How these Audiomojis will be activated in the Phone app is yet unknown. According to AssembleDebug, Google could only be able to use this capabilities with the Call Screen feature or just make it available on the call screen. Whether the accompanying animation for the sound effect reaches the caller on the other end will be interesting to see.
According to AssembleDebug, Google appears to have removed the flags and strings associated with the functionality later. Audiomojis, formerly known as sound responses, may have been in development since September of last year. However, it appears that the business is still interested in it and intends to bring it back under the Audiomoji brand.
Unlike some of the company’s other applications, the Google Phone app doesn’t often receive many upgrades. Though we might have to wait a while as Audiomojis are now limited to the beta version, this new addition has the potential to be one of the largest in recent memory.
