Android Nougat (7.*) easter egg: "neko"
Today I learnt about an easter egg in Android Nougat (version 7.*) that will add a useless game to your phone. It's a bit like Pokemon Go, only you attract cats by putting an item on a dish and then ... well, just sit around and wait. Until a cat finally shows up.
Like I said, completely useless but fun nonetheless.
So how do you activate it? Remember, you will need Android 7 (Nougat):
- Open
Settings. - Scroll down to
About phoneand tap that. - Find
Android versionin the list, and rapidly tap it 4 times, the Android Nougat logo will appear. - Now tap the N five times and then long press it until the phone vibrates. A small cat icon under the N will show up.
- Exit the
Settingsmenu and pull down the notification drawer. - Pull down once again until you reach the
Quick settings. - Tap the little pencil on top to modify your
Quick settingsmenu. - Scroll down to the
Drag to add tilessection and find the little cat icon with the text???? Android Easter Egg. - Drag it to your
Quick settingsmenu.
Now when you go to your Quick settings you can tap the new icon (an empty dish) and select a treat to attract a cat. After a while a cat will appear and the plate will be empty again. Repeat ad nauseam. ;)
