To celebrate Halloween a mobile phone retailer has created six spooky smartphone personalities, and we're pretty sure that you will either recognise them, or actually be one of them! From the 'Where-Wolf' who checks in everywhere to the 'The Gym Reaper' who has to tell everyone when they go to the gym, there's no doubt you will know someone like this.

We hope you have a safe and happy Halloween!

Check out the full list of smartphone personas below:

1) The Unread

Unnervingly normal at first glance, The Unread have a hidden secret tucked away in their pockets.


The Unread allow their notifications to reach a scarily high number, with thousands of emails, missed calls and messages screaming in pain, with no reply, forever unopened.

2) The Night Crawler

Tap, tap, tap… what's that? It's the dreaded sound of a Night Crawler. You'll find them hidden away in bed, up until the early hours of the morning, endlessly scrolling through social media.

3) The Where-Wolf

Lacking mystery, everyone can locate a Where-Wolf, even without the need for a tracker. They check in on Facebook wherever they go, be it a restaurant, bar, a well-known landmark or even their grandma's house. Oh, there you are!

4) The Gym Reaper

If you go to the gym, but don't tell everyone on social media, did your workout even happen? Well, not according to The Gym Reaper, who isn't prepared to take this risk. Time to tweet about it and of course let the world know that you have been to the gym, AGAIN!

5) The Claw

The Claw enjoy very little real life social interaction, in fact you could say that their body has adapted to their lack of outside life. Their crooked fingers are fixed in a bent position, forever reaching for the phone that they only put down two minutes ago. Sounds painful!

6) The Wandering Dead

The Wandering Dead cause tragedy and mayhem wherever they go - they have their face buried in their phone as they walk down the pavement and even cross the road. What could possibly happen if they took their eyes off their phone for a split second?

How many of these spooky smartphone personalities can you relate to, or do you know?
