How to show the Android Easter egg

There is a hidden Android Easter egg on the phone that Google has built into your device.

Go to Settings. Then scroll down to About device or About phone.

Then select Software info and find Android version.

Press this 5 times.

Once you see something on the screen, you can then rub the screen with your finger to produce another surprise. If rubbing doesn’t work then try tapping with your finger. A combination of the above should work. If not, then try different things. That’s the fun of the Easter egg.

By the way don’t expect to see an actual Easter Egg. That is just the name given to things hidden inside software or operating systems.
