    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

      Pull it away from your ear, tap the chip to open the Audio Emoji menu, then select the laughing emoji. Seamless!

    So it’s an emoji-themed soundboard for phone calls. Why would anyone want this?

      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

      Can I spam trombone sounds at a telemarketer, straight from the call?

        Congratulations, I think you’ve just found the one and only justification for this waste of engineer hours feature.

          It really is these types of features that make me question how the world works. Why are programmers in such high demand as to command massive salaries, but then also have time to produce things like this?
