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

Step by step

  1. Turn the screen off.
  2. Turn the screen back on.
  3. Unlock: slide up from the fingerprint icon, as in the first lesson.

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.
