Ah thank you. I’ve still got it though. Am I meant to still have it? I didn’t get the joke.

JLouM yeah you are meant to still have it, hasn't been changed back yet, for whatever reason.

Yeah I'm not sure I get the joke either, just know it was meant to be one.

JLouM don't worry I'm sure mine only changed this morning to the dog, this is through the browser, so it wasn't because the app wasn't up to date.

Which is why I wouldn't have got the 'April Fools joke' as it was way past 12pm on 1st April in every country.
