Google Easter Egg adds extra settings functionality to your iPhone

Got to love those Googlers...

Everyone loves a good Easter Egg and it looks like Google decided to add a few little treats to one of its iPhone apps. The Google Mobile App has some hidden menus that allow you to access a few fairly useless but entertaining features. It takes some perseverance but if you continue to swipe upward on the “About” screen, a new menu item “Bells and Whistles” will appear. Click on the new “Bells and Whistles” menu and you will be able to change the color of the application, change the default sound to a monkey or a chicken, select a waveform to appear when you talk and set the option to open links within the application (the one useful feature). Enjoy!
