Use the magnifier
Learn to use the magnifier, in 3 short steps.
Step by step
- Magnification is on for this lesson. Tap THREE times quickly on the screen (on an empty spot): it zooms in, with an orange frame.
- Move around the zoomed screen: drag with TWO fingers. With a mouse, just move it over the phone.
- Tap three times quickly again to zoom back out.
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.
