In a hilarious April Fools’ Day prank, OPPO has introduced a new feature in its ColorOS system that’s bound to make anyone’s life easier when it comes to dodging awkward situations. The feature, called “Intelligent Network Slowdown,” is set to launch on April 31, which of course doesn’t exist, making this a clever prank.

The Intelligent Network Slowdown feature includes several functions that users can activate to make their excuses more convincing, such as the Weak Signal during Call function. This feature allows users to display a constant message to the other party that says, “the other party’s network is poor,” enabling users to avoid embarrassing situations such as being pressured by their parents to get married.

The Background Noise feature is another great addition that users can leverage to create believable excuses. When activated, the feature allows users to select from different background noise options such as hospital, car accident, movie theater, or music theater sounds, adding a layer of realism to their excuses.

For those who prefer to dodge video conference calls, the Freeze Video Conference Screen function is a godsend. This feature makes the user’s video call screen static, giving them the freedom to slack off and do other things while appearing to be present in the meeting.

In addition, the Game Cloud Slowdown feature is another brilliant addition to the Intelligent Network Slowdown feature set. When activated, it shows a message indicating that the user is constantly reconnecting, giving them a more convincing excuse for losing a game.

Lastly, the Dynamic Payment Code Not Loading function is perfect for those who often find themselves being pressured to pay for meals with friends. The feature constantly displays the message “Payment code failed to load” on the user’s phone screen, taking the pressure off them and shifting it back to their friends.

While the Intelligent Network Slowdown feature is, of course, a prank, it’s an entertaining reminder of how technology can make our lives easier and more fun. OPPO’s ColorOS system continues to offer exciting and innovative features, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
