Google has recently introduced a festive addition to its Audio Emoji feature, designed to enhance the user experience on its Pixel phones. This new sound, themed for Halloween, is currently available in the beta version of the Google Phone app, with expectations for a wider rollout ahead of the holiday.
Spooky Sounds in Beta
As part of its ongoing innovation, Google has rolled out a Halloween-themed Audio Emoji, which includes an array of eerie sounds such as a sinister laugh, a shrieking cat, and the rumble of thunder. This feature, which acts as a soundboard during phone calls, was first introduced with the Pixel 8a earlier this year and has since expanded to other models within the Pixel lineup.
The latest update, identified in the beta version of the app (version 149.0.682953539-publicbeta-pixel2024), replaces the previous party sound with this new spooky option. While the exact appearance of the Audio Emoji menu upon official release remains to be seen, the inclusion of this Halloween sound is a delightful addition for users looking to add a touch of festivity to their conversations.
With Halloween just around the corner, it is anticipated that this new Audio Emoji will be accessible to all users in the stable version of the app shortly, allowing everyone to partake in the seasonal fun before October 31 arrives.
