Android Nougat (7.*) easter egg: "neko"

Today I learnt about an easter egg in Android Nougat (version 7.*) that will add a useless game to your phone. It's a bit like Pokemon Go, only you attract cats by putting an item on a dish and then ... well, just sit around and wait. Until a cat finally shows up.

Like I said, completely useless but fun nonetheless.

So how do you activate it? Remember, you will need Android 7 (Nougat):

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Scroll down to About phone and tap that.
  3. Find Android version in the list, and rapidly tap it 4 times, the Android Nougat logo will appear.
  4. Now tap the N five times and then long press it until the phone vibrates. A small cat icon under the N will show up.
  5. Exit the Settings menu and pull down the notification drawer.
  6. Pull down once again until you reach the Quick settings.
  7. Tap the little pencil on top to modify your Quick settings menu.
  8. Scroll down to the Drag to add tiles section and find the little cat icon with the text ???? Android Easter Egg.
  9. Drag it to your Quick settings menu.

Now when you go to your Quick settings you can tap the new icon (an empty dish) and select a treat to attract a cat. After a while a cat will appear and the plate will be empty again. Repeat ad nauseam. ;)
