The ability to summon rainbow-coloured ponies into your Hangouts conversations is just one of few Easter eggs that have made their way from the desktop to Android with the recent update.
Starting with
Hangouts 2.1 for Android, it is now possible to send pitchfork mobs and an infinite stream of ponies across the screen all by typing a command. The update adds a bit of fun to Google's messaging app for users that know the secret words.

Google is no stranger to adding "Easter eggs" to their products, and although these Easter eggs have been around since launch, only the
Hangouts Chrome extension and the web versions were hoarding all the fun for themselves. Not any more! If you've got a couple of seconds to kill, make sure to type these commands into a conversation using the latest version of Hangouts for Android:
/pitchforks
/ponies
/ponystream
Have fun, and let us know which is your favorite!
