Make everything bigger

Learn to make everything bigger, in 5 short steps.

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

Step by step

  1. Open "Settings".
  2. Tap "Display".
  3. Tap "Display size and text".
  4. Tap the "A+" button (on the right) until the text is extra large: 160% or more. Look at the preview at the top.
  5. Now make everything bigger, not only the text: tap the "zoom +" button under "Display size".

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.
