Turn on the flashlight

Learn to turn on the flashlight, in 3 short steps.

3 steps · about 1 minute · practice it with SafePhone Pro

Step by step

  1. Open the shade: slide down from the top of the screen.
  2. Tap "Flashlight".
  3. Tap it again to turn it off (remember: it drains the battery).

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.
