Mobile Phone Pranks for April Fools’ Day

April Fools’ Day! A day some dread, others love, and some completely overlook—making them the perfect prank targets. If you’re planning to pull a prank this April Fools’ Day, here are some simple and fun ways to trick your loved ones using your mobile!

Setting Alarms

Setting alarms on their phone is the perfect way to set the confusion and will grow to become very irritating the more alarms you set. However, it could possibly become very easy for them to catch on if these are set with a very short time between them.

Change the Language 

Changing the language on someone’s phone is a simple yet effective prank. It forces them to go out of their way to fix it—some may even need to look up how to switch it back! Just head to the settings and change the language for a harmless but amusing trick.

Changing their ringtone or text message sound

Changing their ringtone to a song you know they can’t stand is a hilarious April Fools’ prank. You can also swap their usual notification sounds for something new and see how long it takes them to notice—it’s a fun way to test their attention to detail!

Change the Wallpaper

Switching their wallpaper to a funny mugshot of them or a picture you know will make them laugh is a great way to pull off a light-hearted prank and share a good laugh with your friend.

Add a text replacement

Replacing certain words for other words is the perfect April fools’ prank especially as depending on how often they use that word they may take a while to catch on. This would be great for those friends or family who are not so advanced with technology as they will not understand what is going on.

Broken screen prank

Download a cracked screen simulator app to give them a shock! It’s a fun and harmless way to prank them and see their reaction.

Adding dates to their calendar

Adding random events, birthdays, or dates from your own life to their calendar is a great way to confuse them. They’ll be left wondering how on earth those got there!

Selfie bomb their phone

Snapping a bunch of selfies on their phone is a simple yet hilarious prank. You don’t even need full access—just use the camera from the lock screen! It’s a subtle and easy way to surprise them when they check their gallery.

We hope these simple and fun ideas help you pull off the perfect April Fools’ pranks!
