What is the Android Easter egg and how to access it

The Android Operating system is known for its slew of features and functionalities. While 9 out of 10 features are aimed directly at making the user experience simpler and more data-rich, the developers usually add in a gag or two just for the sake of entertainment. One of the longest-running gags in the Android Operating System is the Android Easter Egg.

The Android Easter egg is a themed artwork or animation (or even a mini-game), that represents the version of the OS that your Android smartphone is running. As Android has been using the dessert nomenclature for their OS releases, the Easter eggs have been indicative of that theme and so far, every easter egg we have seen has brought a smile to our face.

Some of our favorite Android Easter eggs over the years are –

Number 1. Android 4.1 (Jellybean)

The Easter egg for the Android Jellybean OS was a two-step process. On trigger, the screen displayed a smiley face which then transformed into a screen full of jellybeans that you can tap and move. There is no real point to this mini-game other than offering some entertainment in times of boredom.
