Prank Apps of 2020
Ownage Pranks
If you’re a fan of prank calling then at some point or another you’ve probably encountered the OwnagePranks youtube channel. Like the show where every prank is scripted purposefully to get the desired effect, their app follows suit.
Packed with over 100 prerecorded calls containing different prank scripts, a user can prank call their friends by selecting one from the large selection in the app. Prank Scripts offer something unique every time- An automated call bombarding you with cat facts or an angry uber driver who arrived too early.
Scripts are very well written with voice acting also being top-notch, this is no surprise as pre-recordings are predominantly voiced by Russel Johnson-the face of the series.
As pranks are automated, you’ll quickly notice that a prerecording is practically indistinguishable from a real person. While this is partly due to how scripts are written, it’s their ‘Speech Recognition Technology’ Ai that makes conversations feel authentic. The apps AI can quickly analyze keywords during a phone call and even detect silence; resulting in prerecordings responding at the most appropriate times.

Scare Your Friends- JOKE!
If attempting to spook friends with paranormal videos and ghostly pictures isn’t working then maybe it’s time to try the classic jump-scare prank.
This prankster app is perfect for creating some wild panicky reasons in everyday scenarios. All you’ll need to do is lend your phone to a friend; this can be achieved subtly by asking them to watch a youtube video, for example.
Coming with a gallery displaying a wide array of scary pictures with accompanying sounds you’ll need to choose one before the prank begins, some of these pictures include Angry rat, Clown and Fat Clown.
Afterwards select the appropriate time interval you wish to have before the prank begins- 15 seconds, 30 seconds etc.
Once your friend receives the phone, shortly after the time interval expires the picture and sound will pop up into the screen, regardless of what app they were using at the time. Jumpscare pranks work even better in quiet areas like a public library, increasing the prank’s intensity.
Main Features
- Large selection of scary pictures and sounds
- Time intervals included allowing sufficient time when lending your phone to a friend
