The first of April is known in the world as April Fool's Day, and this is an occasion when many people end up taking the opportunity to carry out some pranks. In turn, in these times of quarantine, a healthy game through a virtual environment can be a good way to relax.
So, of course, WhatsApp, despite not having native features for this, ends up being an interesting option to prank your friends. To help you with that, the Technology Refugee separated four healthy pranks that you can do on WhatsApp your friends. Check out what they are!

O Technology Refugee does not consider the games shown below to be offensive, in addition, it is worth remembering, they do not offer any risk of crashes or other problems for any device. Although games are fun on this day, remember not to play bad pranks and not spread fake news.
or send a message upside down on WhatsApp
A fun game for WhatsApp that can be done in a few steps to get your friends confused is to send a message upside down. So, as soon as they receive the message, they probably won't understand what's going on and will have to turn their cell phone a few times to read the content received.
To learn the details of sending a message upside down, just access this tutorial from Technology Refugee. The process can be done on both Android and iOS (iPhone system).
or change your voice on WhatsApp
Something really fun to do on WhatsApp is the possibility to send an audio message, but you don't need to just use your voice for this. For example, using your iPhone, you can even have the voice of Darth Vader from Star Wars.
Already on Android, you have a few different effect options and you can speed up your audio or have the voice of Optimus Prime from Transformers. To learn more about changing your voice, check out these Technology Refugee tutorials that teach you how to change your voice on WhatsApp on Android and iOS (iPhone system).
or send a blank message
As simple as it may seem, WhatsApp doesn't let you, for example, just press the spacebar and send a blank message. Fortunately, for this prank, all you need is to go to the Emptycharacter website to send a blank message.
When accessing it, just use the “Copy to clipboard” button and paste what is on your clipboard in the WhatsApp message field. Here, all the service does is actually use an invisible character.
or send a drawing on WhatsApp
The last tip on our list is to send a drawing made in ASCII on WhatsApp, which are nothing more than drawings that use special characters. For this, the Text-Symbols website has a generous collection separated by categories, which, like our previous tip, just need to be copied and pasted into the WhatsApp message field.
Ready! Now, you already know how to play some harmless pranks to amuse your friends on WhatsApp.
