One of the most requested changes in the comment section of each WhatsApp article we post is an updated camera interface (well, beside GIF support). The app has been through lots of Material changes over the past year or so, from a complete UI overhaul to small icon and element modifications, but the built-in camera has always looked the same as it did several years ago. That's finally changed in version 2.16.4 of the app, and no, this isn't an April Fools.

The tech world has embraced April Fools' Day with enthusiasm (and no concern whatsoever for the sanity of the poor bloggers who have to round up all the damn jokes, and make sure that no prank is covered as serious news, and, seriously, I'm rolling my eyes so hard they hurt! But I digress.)
From genuinely funny to cringe-worthy, from totally believable to totally crazy, April Fool's jokes are coming in thick and fast. Google alone is responsible for about a hundred. Without further ado, here's a roundup of the tech-related pranks we've spotted so far.
The teardown experts at iFixit are branching out into safety products, with a "smother bag" for owners of notoriously dangerous hoverboards.
Your next delivery of snacks may arrive by way of air, thanks to the new parachutes deployed by Gooogle's Express shopping service. Because, as they say, "parachutes are a lot like minds, they work best when they're open."
The Android subreddit has received an XDA-inspired makeover, complete with touches like "Don't forget to press thanks" and the classic "What doesn't work? You tell me."
The Guardian explains how they've optimized their news app for for interplanetary space distribution on Google Play, with the new features in the Google Play Developer Console and updated Material Design guidelines.
Sometimes email convos can go on and on and on. Suffer no more. Show how you really feel with the new "Send and Drop Mic" button, that automatically inserts an appropriate GIF in your reply and archives the thread, so you don't ever have to see it again. Handy!
Virtual reality is hot. But you know what's hotter? ACTUAL reality. And Google now lets you try it on the cheap with its new Cardboard Plastic.
!" ?Smart Reply now supports emoji, and what could possibly go wrong?
This one straddles the line between stupid joke and actual useful feature – you can now search through emoji on Google Photos. Because sometimes typing "cat" is just too hard.
Google Maps is getting all groovy. Well Pegman, the iconic stick figure you can drag around to open Street View, is. Just go to Google Maps on the web and you'll see the option to visit Funky Town. And this is what happens when you do that:
Quoting from this innovative product's description: "Keep-Your-Pants-On Mode: Sometimes it's easy to get carried away with the moment. The Samsung Bio-Processor in your pants checks your bio-data including your heart rate and perspiration level. If these indicators get too high, Samsung's trousers will send you subtle notifications as a reminder of the importance of keeping your cool."
The Google Play Books team couldn't stay away from the fray. They are launching realBooks, which are phones loaded with exactly one ebook. You know, so you can fill your bookshelf with books again…
Some think that T-Mobile CEO John Legere, with his colorful language and complete lack of self-restraint, is a walking prank that cruel gods are playing on the CEOs of AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. Well, he ain't. T-Mobile's real prank is Binge On Up, a product that promises to make YouTubular degeneration a thing of the past.
We probably missed a ton of pranks, but we're working hard to uncover more. If you know of a cool prank we didn't mention, give us a shout in the comments!

There's also the new web browser with ad-block support. Not forgetting that the Galaxy S6 Edge is now updated with the much more functional edge panel, which can now be used to create shortcuts for a ton of apps and other useful features.
