- 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.
