Why Can’t I Trigger a Fake Call From the Lock Screen

Understand iOS limitation– This app (or the others I tested) doesn’t allow you to trigger a fake call from the lock screen, which can limit its usefulness in situations where you need a quick escape. In that case, you can usethis Siri Shortcutby @ejada to simulate a fake incoming call without any third-party apps. In my testing, I triggered this shortcutusing the back tap gestureand it worked well. However, It still doesn’t look as convincing as a dedicated fake call app.

Best Option for Android – (Fake Call – Prank Friends)

Why this:It’s a free fake calling app, which lets you customize the caller’s name, number, and picture, as well as schedule the call for a specific time. It also allows you to record your voice to play during the fake incoming call. Unlike iPhone apps, it can simulate calls even when running in the background using Android’s native overlay permission. Also unlike other Android fake calling apps, it lets you select different call screen themes to match your phone’s interface or add a personalized touch.
