Prank Call App by Pranksters

A prank call app with a hacker typer and broken screen prank, for Android

Pranksters is a prank call app for Android that also packs a hacker typer, a broken screen prank and a soundboard into one install. Whether you want a call prank app, a hacker screen prank or a fake cracked screen, it is all in the one prank app. Pick a prank, hand over the phone and watch what happens. Nothing needs an account, and every full-screen prank has a timer or a triple-tap exit, so you can set it up and walk away.

Prank call app: a fake call that rings your own phone

The fake call prank rings your own phone with an incoming call from Mom, the boss or any name you like. Pick a ringtone and a background photo, then set the call to ring now or in a few minutes. It is a prank call in the sense that the call is fake: nothing is dialed. As a fake call app it also gives you a polite way out of a boring conversation, and a fake phone call set for a few minutes from now is the easiest way to do it.

Hacker typer: look like a movie hacker

The hacker typer turns any mashing of the keyboard into rolling code, access-granted alerts and missions, so whoever is holding the phone looks like they are breaking into something. Prefer to watch? Leave the hacker screen prank running on its own and let the code scroll by itself. It is the quickest prank in the app to set up.

Broken screen prank: cracked, shattered and smashed

The broken screen prank fills the whole display with a realistic fake broken screen: cracked, shattered or glitching. Hand someone the phone with the cracked screen on it and wait for the reaction. A triple-tap clears it, so the phone is never really stuck.

Fart sounds and a prank soundboard

The prank sounds are the quickest way to get a laugh. There are fart sounds from a quick squeak to one that never ends, plus a soundboard of air horns, sirens, screams, burps and sneezes. Put the phone down, set a timer and walk away for a fart prank that goes off on its own. The app also has a fake virus scan that "deletes" photos and stalls at 99% (nothing is scanned or deleted), a hair clipper that buzzes and a stun gun that crackles. Instead of hunting for a new phone prank app for each gag, the funny pranks all live in one place.

The team behind the app also runs pranks for the browser, including fake text, tweet and WhatsApp chat makers, so the same joke works on a laptop.

Our verdict

One install gets you a fake call, the hacker typer, a fake broken screen, fart sounds and a soundboard, which saves hunting for a separate app for each gag. Every prank is free to open, there is no sign-up, and each full-screen prank ends with a triple-tap, so you can hand the phone over without worrying about it getting stuck.

Why we like it: It is built around the handover: you start a prank, pass the phone and the screen does the rest. Timers let you set a sound and walk away, the fake call can be set to ring a few minutes later, and nothing asks for an account or an email before it works.

The catch: The app shows ads, and a one-time Pro payment unlocks extras such as more call backgrounds and the full sound board. It is not a subscription. It is Android only at the moment. Pranks are for fun: keep them friendly and never use one to scare someone into paying or sharing a password.
