There are numerous ways to prank iPhone users, however, how to do it harmlessly is often overlooked. The following 5 pranks are classic examples of how to prank them.
Prank 1: Endless waiting game
First, download a gif file of a waiting icon while chatting online. You can get it Here. Then, simply send it to your friend. They'll think the message is still sending, and they'll have to wait while the gif loops endlessly. Those three dots will keep blinking for hours, maybe even forcing them to reset their device. And then, you'll relish the satisfaction of pranking your friend like never before.
Prank 2: Auto Correct Madness
Auto Correct function is similar to the shortcut typing feature in Unikey.
If you know your friends well, this method will be very effective. Since you know how they usually reply to messages, you can use autocorrect on their iPhone (yes, their iPhone) to drive them crazy. You can set autocorrect to change a commonly used word into something unexpected.
In my case, he usually replies with Okay, so I'll dive into autocorrect on his phone (settings -> general -> keyboard -> add new shortcut) and tweak it so that every time he types Okay, his iPhone will automatically change it to Okay this afternoon I'll wear a pink lotus bikini, then save and pause right there. Then you can message the victim asking, 'Hey bro, wanna play soccer this afternoon?' As usual, he'll reply Okay and hit send without checking. And of course, I'll receive a very intriguing message. But remember, this trick only works when you manage to swipe his iPhone.
Method 3: Hey, let's split
This one's a tad trickier, this time requiring you to deftly infiltrate his phone. Once inside, access the contacts and find your own name, then slyly change your name to his girlfriend's name, or someone close to him that you know he has saved in his contacts. Make it an exact match, every detail counts. For instance, if my buddy saved his girlfriend's name as Kitty Cat ^^, I'd also save my name as Kitty Cat ^^, and to make it even more convincing, I'd swap out the profile picture of the contact to match the original.
After arranging everything smoothly, what you text is up to you, but it's best to send a shocking message to spike the blood pressure. For example, you could text, 'Hey, after some thought, I feel like we're not compatible, let's break up, don't call me anymore.' After sending the message, just sit back and watch his face change color with each word, but remember, stay strong and don't let your gleeful smile slip.
Method 4: The malfunctioning phone
With this method, you'll need to take a screenshot of his iPhone (Power Button + Home Button). Then, painstakingly move all his apps to another screen, and set the wallpaper to the screenshot you just took. Consider it done, now just wait for him to open his phone and be bewildered as to why his phone suddenly froze. My friend had to reset it twice before realizing he'd been pranked severely.
Method 5: Locking the phone with an app
This method ensures that the victim can't escape from the app running on the phone. This feature is supported by Guided Access, it will keep the iPhone running only on a single app, if you want to exit, you have to enter a password.
The first thing to do is go to setting -> General -> Accessibility -> Guided Access. Then choose set passcode to set up a password. Everything is all set up, the last thing to do is select a really boring app on the phone, like the compass, for instance, then open the app and press the home button 3 times continuously to activate Guided Access mode. That's it, now he'll only be able to use the iPhone as a compass unless he has the password from you.
