Google has traditionally added a little secret to the world’s biggest OS every year, but what is the best Android Easter egg to date?
With the launch of Android 15 Beta 4 we have confirmation of the upcoming secret in the next stable release. As you probably do, we love the little sneaky Easter eggs in Android, but what is the best?
Android has a long history of hiding delightful surprises, known as Easter eggs, within its operating system. From quirky animations to hidden games, these little gems might not be all that important to most people, but they add a little extra panache and flavor to the world’s biggest operating system.
Sadly, the Android Easter egg hasn’t been available since the first release back in 2008. No, it wasn’t added until version 2.3 or Android Gingerbread. It was super simple back then, just an image that featured a possessed Gingerbread man and some skeletons with the “Bugdroid” chilling out.
Android 3.0 Honeycomb added a bit Tron-inspired bee with a toast message that read “REZZZZZZZ…” Ice Cream Sandwich added the first fully animated Android Easter egg. It featured floating Bugdroids dressed up in ice cream sandwiches that constantly swim across your display in landscape mode.
Jelly Bean added the first truly interactive Android Easter egg.
