It’s April Fools day, which implies the web is inherently loaded with baloney, and nothing can be trusted or given attention. But instead of feed you a chunk of imaginative doo-doo, we commonly prefer to share general Apple tricks for April Fools Day around here.

This year we have a senseless trick that works incredible for iPhone, iPad, Macs, or some other PC or gadget that has a lock screen… it’s absolutely innocent yet can cause a little freakout to a clueless individual… it’s a classic broken glass wallpaper prank!

This is a straightforward trick to play on somebody. You should simply get an image of broken glass or a broken glass screen and afterward set that as the lock screen wallpaper picture on an iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android telephone, PC, anything you desire. The clueless trick target at that point gets their gadget or wakes their equipment to find what looks to be a messed up glass screen… ahhh! Obviously, it’s not really broken, and it’s a simple wallpaper.

In the example here I utilized an image of a genuine broken screen iPhone before it was fixed, you can spare this image yourself and use it in the event that you need to, it is 1500 × 2273 resolution. Thus it will fit fine and dandy on most iPhone and iPad models, and in case you turn it horizontally, it’ll be adequate for the desktop and Mac as well.

Click the picture beneath to open a full size into another window with the goal that you can spare the wallpaper:

(You can discover numerous other comparative pictures on the web like this broke glass picture from unsplash.com, or search on images.google.com, and set it as the wallpaper on something different whatever you want.)

Simply save the messed up glass picture to an iPhone, iPad, Mac, PC, Android, or whatever else, at that point, set it as the lock screen background wallpaper of the target users gadget.

In case you aren’t sure how to set any image as the wallpaper on iPhone or iPad here, simply be certain you pick “Set Lock Screen” while changing the backdrop picture for the best impact.

For PC users, you can set and change a Mac desktop wallpaper with these guidelines.

This stunt will in general work best on the iPhone or little screens since it takes somewhat longer as a rule for the individual to understand the display isn’t really broken, yet I’ve seen it effectively trick somebody on even a gigantic screen 27″ iMac also, so it’s mostly a matter of how persuading the image of broken glass you use is, and possibly you play it off, or how the individual sees the picture.

Another comparative stunt that works very well to trick iPhone and iPad users are the “iPhone is disabled” wallpaper trick or the trick of taking a screen capture of a Home Screen and setting that as the background picture… but we’ve already done those previously.

On a genuine note, in the event that you do happen to break your iPhone screen, at that point, here are a few tips on managing that and getting it fixed. Also, in case you need to see some other Apple April fools tricks or goof off, all in all, we have you covered on this very-not-serious day of the year
