Android is a mobile operating system that has been in use since 2007. It is a popular choice for many people because it is easy to use and has a lot of features. There are many different Android versions, but some of the most popular ones are Gingerbread, Jelly Bean, and Lollipop. There are some hidden Android Easter eggs that you can find if you know where to look. Here are four examples:

  1. In Jelly Bean, there is a hidden application called “My Activity.” This application allows you to control your phone’s settings in a very user-friendly way. You can change the wallpaper, turn on or off notifications, set up alarms, and more. If you ever need to do any of these things without having to open the app itself, just open My Activity and select one of the options from the list. You’ll be able to do all of these things without having to type anything out!
  2. In Gingerbread, there is a hidden application called “Settings.” This application allows you to change many of your phone’s settings in very easy-to-read text format. For example, you can set up your phone’s time zone, adjust your wallpaper color preferences, and more! If you ever need to change any of these things without having to open the app itself, just open Settings and select one of the options from the list. You’ll be able to do all of these things without having to type anything out!
  3. In Lollipop, there is a hidden application called “Notifications.” This application allows you to control how often your phone will send notifications (via email or text message), as well as which notifications will be sent first (email or text message). If you ever need to change any of these things without having to open the app itself, just open Notification and select one of the options from the list. You’ll be able to do all of these things without having to type anything out!

Each version of Android since Gingerbread (Android 2.3) has included an Easter egg, which is always accessed in the same way. The Easter eggs in the latest versions are becoming more complex, with animations and interactivity.

Android’s Easter eggs pay tribute to nyan cat, Tron, zombies, and jelly beans. Each Easter egg is themed to fit with the Android version’s release name.

Accessing Android’s Easter Eggs

To access the Easter egg in your version of Android, open the Settings screen and tap About phone or About tablet at the bottom of the screen.

Locate Android’s version number on the about screen and quickly tap it several times. The Easter egg will appear. Look for “Firmware version” instead of “Android version” on Gingerbread.

Jelly Bean (Android 4.1)

Jelly Bean’s Easter egg is a large, red jelly bean. Tap it with your finger and a face will appear.

Long-press the jelly bean and an interactive jelly bean mini-game will appear. A cluster of jelly beans will float around the screen. You can move them around and swipe them off the screen with your finger. This game will never end (unless your battery dies).

Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0)

Ice Cream Sandwich’s Easter egg is a pixel-art Android wearing an ice cream sandwich.

Long-press the android and a swarm of androids wearing ice cream sandwiches will start flying across the screen.

This is a tribute to the popular “nyan cat” Internet meme, where a pixelated pop-tart cat flies through space trailed by a rainbow. It’s been dubbed “nyan-droid” by Android fans.

Honeycomb (Android 3)

Honeycomb’s Easter egg also includes art inspired by its code name – a honeybee, in this case. The honeybee is electric blue, in the style of Honeycomb’s other interface elements.

Many people noticed that Android 3’s theme seemed inspired by Tron: Legacy, so it’s no surprise that Honeycomb’s Easter egg includes a Tron reference. The honeybee produces a word bubble with the text “REZZZZZZZ…”. “Rezzing” is a term for creating something in Tron.

Gingerbread (Android 2.3)

Gingerbread’s Easter egg is a zombie-themed painting with a zombie gingerbread man. While the zombified gingerbread man appears to be scary at first, the android doesn’t appear perturbed – in fact, all the zombies appear to be standing around using (Android?) phones.
