Google is spicing up phone calls for Android users with a new feature that adds a hilarious twist - particularly if you love a fart joke.
The next Google Phone app update will bring in a bunch of 'audio emojis’, including the classic poo emoji that lets out a fart sound when you tap it.
When you're on a call and pick one of these "Audio Emojis," not only do you get a cool animation but also a sound that lasts a few seconds. And yes, both sides of the call get to hear it!
The lineup includes applause for celebratory moments, laughter for when you’re cracking up, party noises for festive vibes, a trombone’s “womp-womp” for disappointments, a ripping fart sound from the poo emoji, and a classic drum “ba dum tss” for comedic effect.
The six new emojis have been tested and shared by @9to5Google on X (formerly Twitter).
9to5Google also reports “there’s a bit of a ‘cooldown’ in between that prevents you from playing sounds back to back".
That’s probably for the best - we all know someone who would absolutely mash those buttons and make all phone calls intolerable forever.
So what do we reckon? Is this a new ick or do you reckon we need an iPhone version too?
