When your friend says something to you on the phone that is SO FUNNY you pull it away from your ear and tap the crying laughing emoji to let them know that it made you laugh
Thanks, I hate it.
Pull it away from your ear, tap the chip to open the Audio Emoji menu, then select the laughing emoji. Seamless!
Well, there are people calling on speakers.
Okay,

So it's an emoji-themed soundboard for phone calls. Why would anyone want this?
great, lame feature nobody asked for!
I'm so glad that I use Lineage OS
They have to do something between killing well functioning highly regarded apps and features...
Sounds cringeworthy, but it might be kinda fun in some contexts to have a soundboard.
"Sorry boss my cheek hit the poop emoji".
Ah, so it's like Discord's sound board feature.
...except that on a Discord call, this type of silliness is expected. If I heard that "Sad Trombone" soundbite on a regular call I'd be stunned
Great, it has audio emojis but can't send unknown callers to voicemail. How fucking brilliant.
Hell, I'd like the option to let it continue ringing (silently) but to NOT send them to voicemail. For when there's a caller that I'm pretty certain I don't want to hear anything from and don't want to have to open my voicemail to delete the last half of their bullshit recording. If I'm going to do that much, I'd rather answer the call and waste their time, too, instead of just mine.
I used this randomly earlier and my friend hated it.
This reminded me of those msn messenger nudges from back in the day.. I'm definitely not the target audience this time around.. 😂
It's so lame that it just might work
They really went with the poop emoji.
