What are Soundmojis (or Sound Emojis)?
Facebook announced Soundmojis back in July this year to celebrate World Emoji Day. These sound-based emojis play relevant sound effects or popular song quips based on the nature of the emojis. So, when you send a drum emoji to your friend, Messenger will play the corresponding sound along with an animated emoji in the chat window.
For instance, the chicken bowl emoji plays the part of WAP, where it says “Macaroni in a pot”, and the red stop emoji plays Billie Eilish’s “Stop, what the hell are you talking about?” from her popular song “Therefore I am”.
Now that you are familiar with what Soundmojis are, let’s take a look at how you can actually send one on Facebook Messenger. However, before sharing a Soundmoji on Messenger, ensure that the app has access to your device’s microphone.
Tap the emoji icon located to the right side of the message box.
Once you have selected a Soundmoji that you want to share in the chat, tap on the “Send” button under the emoji. You can check out the video below to get an idea of how Soundmojis look in a chat.
