To find the Android 12 easter egg, you’ll need to start in your phone’s Settings app – which, of course, needs to be running Android 12. Keep in mind that each device manufacturer has its own Android skin, so the menu names and appearance of your Settings app may vary slightly. However, the steps used to find the Easter egg are generally the same no matter what phone model you are using.
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down to settings and tap “About phone” or “About device”.
- In the device information menu that opens, tap on the option labeled “Software Information”.
- In the software information page, find and quickly triple tap the option called “Android Version” to start the easter egg. The first part of the Easter egg will open with a Material You themed clock on your home wallpaper.
- To access the rest of Android 12’s easter egg, press and hold anywhere on the clock to make the minute hand snap to your finger.
- Move the minute hand around the clock until the hour hand and minute hand are both above the 12 o’clock position.
- Release the minute hand and you’ll see the full Android 12 Easter egg.
You can watch the Easter egg for as long as you want, although as we mentioned, it’s not very interesting. Once you get bored, you can exit the easter egg by swiping up from the bottom of the screen, pressing the back button, or using the back gesture, depending on how your phone is configured.
