Step by step

  1. On the Home screen, slide UP from the search bar at the bottom (with a mouse: press and hold, move up, let go).
  2. Tap "Calculator" in the list (it is in alphabetical order).
  3. Put your finger on the small grey bar at the bottom of the practice phone and slide it up: back to the Home screen.

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. This lesson is free.
