Phone app’s Audio Emoji feature now available widely

Google introduced the Audio Emoji feature with the Pixel 8a smartphone. The feature, which was in development for a few months, is now seeing a wider availability on Pixel devices.

It’s a server-side rollout that doesn’t require your device’s Phone app to be updated. It’s enabled by default and you will get a dedicated chip UI when your call gets connected, offering you 6 Audio Emoji options.

Tapping the Audio Emoji chip will expand the available options so you can express emotions and moods with fun sounds in your calls. It allows you to add fun sounds to your call like applause, laughter, sad trombone, and more.

Earlier, it was released on the Beta channel, but started releasing from the day Pixel 8a was unveiled. As Google I/O event has also concluded, the Audio Emoji feature is seeing a wider rollout, spreading the feature to a vast audience.

The addition of Audio Emoji suggests that Google is continuously exploring new ways to improve user interaction. This unique feature isn’t available to non-Pixel devices, at least for now, but should be rolled out in the near future.
