to think that I really can't be the only person who hadnt noticed this?!

[PyongyangKipperbang]

Years of owning a smartphone, years of using my clock app for timers, alarms etc and YESTERDAY I realised that the app button on my homescreen shows the actualy time and not just a stylised picture of a clock!

I noticed it and thought "Oh its 4pm and its on 4pm...what a coincidence" in that way you do when the time is 12:34 or 12:21 or whatever. Nothing particularly interesting, you just notice it.

Then a couple of hours later it was showing ten past six....blew my mind!

Knock me down with a feather - I’ve never clocked that either (pun intended).

The one that hit me when I discovered it (on iPhone - don't know if android is the same) is that if you turn the calculator app into landscape it changes to a scientific calculator.

Now that one I did know <smug look>

I just couldn't remember a single thing I'd need one for 🤦🏻‍♀️ Mind you, my A levels are older than most of you! & I don't think I've used one since 😂

[Lapland123]

OMG! And that second hand! I’m blown away!

[properdoughnut]

I had no idea!

@PauliesWalnuts

Here’s one for you car owners. Near the petrol gauge on your car is a petrol pump logo. Beside it should be an arrow. The arrow points to the side of your car where the petrol cap is - useful for hire cars etc.

Yeah, but that's fish & chip wrapping (and it's not always there/correct).

mind you, everytime it comes up on MN there are still people who don't know!!

you don't know, what you don't know..

[WhippetyStourie]

Wow - every day’s a school day. Can’t believe I never noticed.

[MyneighbourisTotoro]

Mind blown 🤯 😂

[Thundercats77]

Holy moly 😮

Sometimes mumsnet is a bit yikes and sometimes it is everything! Feeling a similar feeling to when I found out you can FOLD UP THE JUMPEROO.

Also really enjoyed 'complete the internet' Marvellous stuff this evening, well done OP.

[CharlotteUnaNatalieThompson]

Mind. Blown.

@IheartBTS

😁I only discovered this recently, after noticing the hand move on the clock. My teenage dd rolled her eyes at me when I announced it to everyone 😄

I'm quite thrown too

people thought the clock on their phone wasn't a clock. Confusing.

[Furries]

Am sure we’re due another one of the “what didn’t you know for a long time/what fun facts have you found out recently” type threads fairly soon.

I can imagine there will be a number of posts re this - am surprised I’ve never seen it come up on there. Or, maybe not, given the amount of responses here!

Say what???

firget the bloody clock!!!

you can fold up a jumperoo?

only the new ones or old ones too??

[Getoff]

I have a Samsung phone with I think the latest version of Android. I appear to have two clock apps. Neither have icons that display the correct time.

So maybe someone needs to clarify which clock app they are talking about.

[Gloriosity]

Mind. BLOWN.

My one is Samsung and purple

[200degrees]

I have an iPhone and didn’t know this, only because I never use the clock app and it’s hidden away. Just checked it now and the icon is about 20 minutes behind

Every day is a school day!

[OrlandointheWilderness]

Holy fuck. Never noticed that before.

[BigOldGalaxy]

As if!!!

[Reallyhadenough]

Wow!! Totally shocked!! But, @RedAmber the arrow for the fuel tank is correct in the UK x

[NiceMcNicey]

I KNOW! I found out several years too late, someone had shared a video of a woman very simply unclipping somethings underneath the frame then she folded it up and carried it off! Video must he somewhere. This was about 7 years ago though...jumperoo technology may have progressed ..

@TooMuchToDoTooLittleInclination the above message was supposed to reply to you but I did it wrong!

[Bringonsummer19]
