Facebook wants to be the protagonist of the evolution of emojis. For this reason, the social network has presented the “Soundmojis”. As the name implies, this function combines expression icons with related sound effects . The company assures that they have taken “The best of both worlds” to enrich people's forms of communication.
Soundmojis are basically emojis with short sounds that work exclusively in the Messenger chat . These range from clapping to crickets to drum rolls to wicked laughter. Facebook has also added audio clips from artists like Rebecca Black.
As if this were not enough, the emojis with sound from Facebook allow you to send audio from series and television programs. At the moment they include Fast & Furious 9, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Bridgerton. However, the company is sure that it will add new sounds to the library over time.
How to use the new emojis with Facebook sounds?
Credit: Facebook Using the new Facebook Soundmojis is very easy. You just have to access the Messenger application and start a chat. In the conversation window, touch the smiley face to open the expression menu and select the speaker icon . Once there you can preview the emojis with audio before sending them.
You could say that the idea of Facebook is not entirely new. Some users will remember that the defunct Windows Live Messenger had a wide range of features that encouraged – or not – conversations. One of them were the “winks”, which would allow sending animations without sounds. It's basically the same idea, but with emojis.
The new function will gradually be rolled out to all users. This will automatically arrive at the Messenger interface on the web. In the case of mobile device users, it is recommended to update the app.
There is no doubt that emojis are one of the most used forms of expression. Facebook ensures that more than 2.4 billion messages are sent with these types of icons every day. Just in time to celebrate World Emoji Day on July 17 the social network led by Mark Zuckerberg has presented its new creation.
