YOUR iPhone does loads of things but can also spare you from awkward situations.

We’ve all been there – desperate to get out of a cringe moment or a conversation that has dragged on too long.

Sweet escape...

Phone calls can certainly offer that sweet escape and fortunately you can generate fake ones to do the job.

There are a number of free apps that make it possible, so next time, you’ll have one of these sweet escapes ready to save the day.

Fake Call Pro

Fake Call Pro is good if you know that an awkward moment is coming up at a certain time.

It gives you the power to set the time and who you want it to be from, so you can even show your fake screen off showing ‘Dad’ if necessary.

Better still, when you pick up the call, there are random voices to make it all the more convincing.

Fake Call

Fake Call does pretty much the same as Fake Call Pro.

What it does a little differently is allow you to create your own voice recordings, if you want to be a little extra about it.

You can even add a profile photo of the caller, to make it all the more believable.

Text Me

If calls aren’t you ideal way out, a fake text might be the solution.

Text Me does exactly what it says on the tin – it allows you to send yourself a fake text.

With a pretend number, you can then show it to the person as ‘proof’ that you need to go.

Kurved

Kurved is fake heaven, doing way more than calls and texts.

Class schedules, low battery alerts, appointments and even airline tickets can be created for your quick escape.

Fake All

Fake All is a good all-rounder, not only doing calls and texts but also fake social media messages.

These come in the form of notifications that look like they come from the likes of Facebook Messenger and Instagram.

So even the most suspicious person is less likely to question it.

Some apps even allow you to create fake social media notifications
