Step by step

  2. Tap the email from "Springfield Water".
  3. Next to the attached file, tap the download arrow: the bill is saved on your phone, in "Download".
  4. Now go to the Home screen (the round button ○, or slide the grey bar up), then tap "Files" (the blue folder).
  5. Tap "Downloads", then tap "Water-bill-October.pdf" to open it.

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.
