3 Pranks for the iPhone

Do you know of a silly coworker that always flaunts his sparkly new iPhone? Does your mate or brother usually get your iPhone and play with it? How would you like to pull an awesome prank on them? If you're able to get hold of his iPhone while he or she is gone for only a few minutes, then you are one step ahead.

In the case of a coworker, wait until he or she is away for a conference or is gone to the restroom and left his or her phone on the desk. This might take a lot of meticulous planning and just waiting around, but it will likely be well worth your time and effort. With siblings this should actually be easier as you more than likely are living with all of them, and there are thus more chances to pull the trick.

The very first thing you could do is switch the language settings to one they probably don't know like Japanese. Simply go to Settings -- > General -- > International then Language. Yet another amusing gag you could try is chaning the order of their applications. Just press and hold any icon until they all are constantly moving, and then simply move them around, even going to other screens. For anybody who is upgraded to the most current iOS update, try organizing them in a confusing combination of folders. You can do this by dragging apps over each other.

The phone should allow you to relabel the categories or folder when you see the inside of one. Obviously, there is the well known wallpaper replacing stunt. If you have the most current version of iOS (4.0 and above on iPhone), you can choose a background. All you need it to get a really funny (or unpleasant) image. You will need to locate it in Safari, press and hold the picture, and tap Save Image. Then, proceed to the Wallpaper option inside the Settings menu and choose the photo you just took.

Ultimately, a truly great gag is the one where you take a screenshot of their background, displaying that, and locking the device. When they later try to use their phone, they will be puzzled as to why their apps aren't working. The problem is that after a person taps the screen, a bottom bar will display (the one for the image viewing application), and so the trick loses its effect. However, some apps have been designed to solve this and even give you more prank ideas. Want to find out more about
