Get more time to read messages: a short lesson in 2 steps.

2 steps · about 2 minutes · practice it with SafePhone Pro

Step by step

  1. Open "Settings" (the gray gear), then tap "Accessibility".
  2. Messages with an "Undo" button or a notification can go away before you read them. Tap "Time to take action", then choose "1 minute": they will stay on the screen at least that long.

These steps are written for SafePhone, a pretend Android-style smartphone in your web browser. On your own smartphone, the buttons and menus may look a little different, but the idea is the same.

Practice it where nothing can break

SafePhone works like a real smartphone, but nothing you do goes anywhere. Try every button, make mistakes and start again.
