What Is BIG Launcher?

BIG Launcher replaces the complicated home screen of your Android phone with a simple, easy-to-read interface. Instead of small icons and confusing menus, you get large buttons with big text that are easy to see and press.

🎬 Watch: BIG Launcher Promo (English)

Who is BIG Launcher for?

• Seniors who find smartphones too complicated
• People with vision problems or blindness
• People with motor difficulties, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's disease
• Anyone who wants a simpler, stress-free phone experience

The BIG Apps Suite

BIG Launcher works together with two companion apps:

You need to install BIG Foonu and BIG SMS separately (required by Google Play Store rules since March 2019).

Example setup: - Foonu: +1234567890, +0987654321 - Text: Help me! Emergency! - Wait: 5 seconds - GPS: Enabled

Setting Up SOS Pe

1. Awọn ayanfẹ → SOS
2. Enable Pe
3. Enter the phone number in Pe phone
4. Set Pe wait — seconds to wait after SMS is sent

Using SOS

Enable "Send GPS SMS" to send two messages: 1. First SMS — immediate, with approximate location 2. Second SMS — once GPS gets a more precise fix

Part 9 — 🔒 Aabo ati Awọn Idiwọ

Password Protection

🎬 Watch: Password protection

Protect settings so only you or a caregiver can change them:

1. Three dots (⋮) → Awọn ayanfẹ → Awọn ayanfẹ menu
2. Enable "Protect menu"
3. Tap "Password" and enter your password
4. The password can be blank (just press OK) or a specific code

⚠️ Warning: If you forget your password, there is no recovery. You must reinstall BIG Launcher.

What can be protected: - Awọn ayanfẹ menu — Password required to open settings - System settings — Password required to access Android settings

💡 Tip: Even with System settings password-protected, the user can still access system settings by pulling down the top notification bar (this is an Android function that cannot be disabled). To make this harder, enable "Full screen" in Awọn ayanfẹ → Appearance — this hides the notification bar on the home screen, requiring two separate pull-down moves to access it.

Hiding Awọn ayanfẹ in BIG Foonu / BIG SMS

🎬 Watch: Hide Awọn ayanfẹ menu item

1. Open BIG Foonu (or BIG SMS) → Awọn ayanfẹ → BIG Apps Suite
2. Uncheck "Show the Awọn ayanfẹ button"

💡 You can still access Awọn ayanfẹ from BIG Launcher's main menu.

Settings Inheritance Between Apps

🎬 Watch: Settings inheritance explained

Because there are three separate apps, settings can be managed centrally:

• Change a setting in BIG Launcher Awọn ayanfẹ → it automatically applies to BIG Foonu and BIG SMS
• If you change a setting directly in BIG Foonu's Awọn ayanfẹ, it may override the inherited value

To disable inheritance: 1. Open BIG Foonu → Awọn ayanfẹ → BIG Apps Suite 2. Uncheck "Inherit the settings"

💡 Recommendation: Keep inheritance enabled so all settings are managed from one place.

Controlling Deletion Permissions

🎬 Watch: Paarẹ history/SMS/contacts

Deletion is disabled by default for safety. To enable:

Or re-run the Setup wizard (Awọn ayanfẹ → "Run setup wizard") and change permissions on the trash can screen.

Bulk delete options (when enabled): - Individual entries or entire threads - All history for a specific contact - All call history or all messages

⚠️ Bulk deletion cannot be undone!

Hiding Awọn ohun elo

1. Awọn ayanfẹ → Awọn ohun elo → Allowed applications
2. Tap an app to hide it (shows as "disabled")
3. Use Disable all / Enable all for bulk changes

Emergency Access to Awọn ayanfẹ
