Factory Reset Complete
The fake factory reset prank shows the "Erasing all content and settings…" screen every phone user dreads, followed by "Factory Reset Complete." Nothing is actually reset. Works on any iPhone or Android.
Press F11 for maximum realism. Tap or press Esc to exit.
Installed the crack fills the entire screen — no browser bar, no tabs, no giveaway.

For laughs only. Nothing here installs, downloads or damages anything — it's all harmless CSS/JS in the browser. It's a staple of April Fools' Day pranks and works any day of the year. Just keep it kind — see what makes a good prank.
Frequently asked questions
Has my phone actually been reset?
No — nothing has been touched. It's a browser page pretending to reset. Close the tab and every app, photo and setting is where it was.
Does the fake factory reset work on iPhone and Android?
Yes — the screen is styled to match both, so it's convincing on either.
How do you fake a phone factory reset?
Open this page in the browser on the phone, tap fullscreen, hand it back. The wipe animation auto-plays.
