Put an app on the Home screen

Learn to put an app on the Home screen, in 3 short steps.

3 steps · about 3 minutes · practice it with SafePhone Pro

Step by step

  1. Slide up to show all your apps.
  2. Long-press "Weather".
  3. Tap "Add to home screen" (or drag the icon without letting go).

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.
