Tutorials & How-to

Set up BIG Launcher, BIG Phone and BIG SMS for calls and texts. Choose home-screen buttons, filter the apps list and keep the clock, date, battery and signal in view.

Use focus navigation across BIG Launcher, BIG Phone and BIG SMS. Set up keyboard or switch input and see a historical Tecla Shield demonstration.

Hide unused BIG Phone controls, confirm before hanging up and adjust the screen for your grip. Keep the call buttons you actually need.

BIG Launcher can treat a long press like a tap and add inactive screen edges. Its touch controls do not depend on a phone-specific Android delay setting.

Open BIG Phone’s Recent Calls, show a separate missed-calls section, call back from the right entry, and mark reviewed calls as seen.

Configure BIG SMS to show an incoming text over the lock screen with its full-screen option, Android notifications, and full-screen-intent access.

BIG Notifications offers large text, big buttons and a large reply box. Show incoming alerts full-screen, wake the display and leave distracting apps out.

Build a BIG Launcher home screen with selected apps, contacts, widgets and shortcuts. Put secondary choices on another screen and hide unwanted app entries.

Put one WhatsApp conversation on a large BIG Launcher button. Follow the direct shortcut method or the WhatsApp pinned-shortcut method when it is not listed.

Remove unwanted delete controls for contacts, SMS and call history in BIG Launcher, BIG Phone and BIG SMS. Check the three settings separately.

Set up BIG SMS for readable conversations, a clearer reply editor, and the Android keyboard you choose. Includes the current received-MMS and free-edition limits.

Keep BIG Launcher’s confirmation before a contact button or BIG Phone dialer places a call, and distinguish the two settings that remove it.
