Information

The loudspeaker emoji is your digital PA system: the symbol you drop when you’ve got news, a PSA, or a dramatic “ATTN:” moment. It channels the vibes of school assemblies, stadium announcements, and that one coworker who says “quick announcement” and proceeds to shake the timeline. Online, it screams without actually screaming—perfect for rallying people to read a thread, hype a launch, or signal-boost a cause.
On Apple/iOS, it appears as a metallic public‑address horn angled to the right, with a yellow‑gold body and bracket and three curved, bluish-gray sound lines beaming outward. It doesn’t have a handle like a cheerleader megaphone; it’s the mounted kind you’d see on a pole at a parade or strapped to a truck. That unmistakable horn-plus-sound-waves silhouette makes it instantly recognizable in feeds and group chats.
Culturally, it nods to bullhorns at protests, pep rallies, and halftime hype—basically any moment where you need “quiet please” and “listen up” at the same time. In memes, it flips from serious to silly fast: used for official-sounding “PSA: stay hydrated,” for sarcastic callouts (“in case you missed the 47 previous reminders”), or to theatrically announce you’re logging off for five minutes. Not to be confused with 📣 Megaphone (the red cheerleader cone) or 🔊 Speaker High Volume (the stereo speaker icon)—📢 is the broadcast symbol for announcements and collective attention.

Definition

This is a gold colored megaphone best used recreational yelling at people from a moving car.
