SafePhone · Getting started
Switch between apps
Learn to switch between apps, in 5 short steps.
Step by step
- Open the Clock: it is on the 2nd page of the Home screen (slide the screen to the left), then tap its icon.
- Put your finger on the small grey bar at the bottom of the practice phone and slide it up: back to the Home screen.
- Now open "Notes" (the yellow sticky note).
- Swipe the bottom bar up and HOLD for a moment before letting go.
- Tap the Clock card (slide to the right if needed).
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.
