Show what is in front of you

Show what is in front of you: a short lesson in 4 steps.

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

Step by step

  1. Video Chat is calling Emily. Wait for her to answer.
  2. Tap "Flip": the phone uses the camera on its back, so Emily sees the room in front of you (a garden, a cake…).
  3. Tap "Flip" again: Emily sees your face again.
  4. End the call with the red button.

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.
