The validity of this article as a news story is, as written, disputed. Wikinews does not publish reports on events that are not sufficiently recent. For synthesis, new details must have come to light within the past five to seven days, and the news event itself must have happened within ten days. Unless sources can be found and a news event chosen to bring this article into compliance with those requirements, the article may be deleted.

If any new details from the last five to seven days are newsworthy in their own right then an article could be written with these updates as the actual news event.

Exceptions are possible where original reporting adds significant new and newsworthy information to the article.

Note! Administrators carrying out cleanup work should take great care with items where original reporting is involved. Such should be moved to the original contributors' userspace, and a courtesy link to it added to their talk page.

Please try to resolve objections on the discussion page, or move the article to Wikipedia or another sister project where it may be more relevant.

Tech company Google is starting to add "Audio Emoji" to their Google Voice app. The Audio Emoji feature is available to those part of the Beta Program (The Beta Program is currently closed), so not everyone has access to Audio Emoji.

Currently, there are six Audio Emojis: edit

  • Poop
  • Applause
  • Sad
  • Laughing
  • Celebrate
  • Drumroll

When an Audio Emoji is used, an animation and a sound will play. For example, when the poop Audio Emoji is selected, A fart sound will play and a Poop emoji will be shown.

Opinions for this feature vary from very positive to very displeased. On one hand, A lot of people found the feature to be fun to use, but on the other hand, some people are upset because they wanted Google to instead fix important issues.

Overall, Audio Emoji is just starting out as a feature, so there could be more emojis added to this feature.
