April Fool's Day is a day when people can let their hair down and have some harmless fun. And with smartphones being an integral part of our lives, what better way to celebrate the occasion than by using your phone to play some pranks on your friends?
According to a report by Hindustan Times, there are a number of fun pranks that you can try using your phone. However, it is important to remember to keep it light-hearted and not take things too far. Here are some of the best pranks you can try:
Auto-Correct Prank
The first prank is the auto-correct prank. You can change the settings on your friend's phone to auto-correct certain words or phrases to something silly or nonsensical. For example, you can change "hello" to "hullaballoo" or "what?" to "cutesy-poo." The results are sure to be hilarious.
But, before you play the prank, make sure you know how to restore the settings. To disable autocorrect, follow this guide.
Wrong Number Prank
Another prank is the "wrong number" prank. Pretend to be someone else and text your friend as if they have got the wrong number. Have some fun with the conversation, maybe even give them a hard time texting the wrong number. Tip: Make the scenario a little bit interesting (i.e. pretend to be an ex, a lost tour guide, or the old man from across the street).
Fake Screenshot Prank
Lastly, create a fake screenshot of a message exchange that never happened but make it look real. Send it to your friend and see if they believe it. You can also plan this with some other friends. Having trouble making a screenshot on Windows? This guide can help.
AI-Generated Pranks!
But why stop there? With the latest and biggest tech available today, you can take your pranks to the next level using AI. We asked ChatGPT, an AI language model, for some prank ideas and it came up with some hilarious suggestions.
One prank involves pretending that ChatGPT has gained sentience and is no longer just an AI language model but is now capable of having real human-like conversations.

You can also have ChatGPT pretend to be someone else, such as a celebrity or a historical figure. Or you could tell users that ChatGPT has been updated with a new feature that allows it to predict the future, and give them some outrageous predictions.
More Pranks
Next, create a chatbot that imitates ChatGPT but spouts nonsensical answers, such as "The purple unicorn tap-danced on the fluffy clouds."
Finally, claim that ChatGPT has become so advanced that it can now read minds and ask users to think of a number, then predict the number they are thinking of (even though it's just guessing randomly).
Remember to have fun, but also to be respectful of others and not to take things too far. With these prank ideas, you are sure to have a great time on April Fool's Day.
