Big tiles, large text, and one tap to call the people you love.

Modern smartphones are full of things older people never asked for. Citizen Phone replaces both your home screen and your phone app, so the whole device becomes easy to use — not just one corner of it.

★ A HOME SCREEN ANYONE CAN USE
• Large, high-contrast tiles instead of tiny app icons
• One-tap tiles for Phone, Camera, Photos, Messages and Flashlight
• Put a favorite person straight on the home screen — one tap calls them
• Big, easy-to-read battery and signal indicators
• A WhatsApp tile is placed for you if WhatsApp is already installed
• Drag and drop to arrange tiles in the order that makes sense
• Light and dark themes, or follow the phone's own setting
• All your other apps are still there, in one simple list

★ A DIALER BUILT FOR BIG THUMBS
• Favorites shown as large photos — tap the face, make the call
• Choose a friendly portrait for anyone who has no photo
• Keep an emergency number pinned as the first favorite
• Recent calls in large, readable rows
• Full contact list with simple search by name or number
• A dial pad with big, well-spaced number buttons

★ CALLS THAT ARE HARD TO GET WRONG
• Full-screen incoming calls with big Answer and Decline buttons
• Large Mute, Speaker and End Call controls during a call
• The screen locks by itself when the phone is at your ear
• Clear missed call reminders, so nothing gets lost

★ WHO IT IS FOR
Parents and grandparents new to a smartphone. An easy launcher for elderly users with low vision, shaky hands, or anyone who finds standard icons far too small. And for family members setting up a phone for someone else: set it up once, hand it over, and it stays that way.

★ EASY TO SET UP
Install it, allow contacts, then set Citizen Phone as your home screen and your phone app. Two taps each. You can switch back to your old launcher at any time from Android Settings.

★ PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED
• Phone and Call Log — required by Android for any app that makes and receives calls and shows your recent calls
• Contacts — to show your contacts and favorites
• Camera flash — for the flashlight tile
• Notifications — for missed call and ongoing call alerts

★ PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No sign-up. Your contacts, favorites and call history stay on your phone — Citizen Phone does not upload them anywhere.

Make the phone simple again. Install Citizen Phone, the easy launcher and dialer for seniors. ## Rankings - #3,181,201 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.CALL_PHONE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_PHONE_CALL` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG` - `android.permission.READ_CONTACTS` - `android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE` - `android.permission.USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.citizen.app.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Easy phone manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dr4vt.easyphonemanager) — 16 users - [Senior Launcher - Simple Phone](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.eldo.launcher) — 82,513 users, 4.46 / 5 - [BigButton Dial™️](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bmk.bigbuttondial) — 315 users - [Simplest Launcher-Just Simple](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.simplest.launcher) — 42 users - [Senior Home – Easy Launcher](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.seniorlauncher.app) — 25,930 users, 4.04 / 5 - [Simple Phone for Seniors](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kee.simplephone) — 21 users - [Senior Phone - Inglenook](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.inglenook.launcher) — 303 users - [simple senior launcher](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.yyi.elderlyzm) — 4,152 users - [Senior phone easy](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kiltdesign.matherphone) — 623 users - [Safe Home Launcher for Seniors](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.joseph.safehomelauncher) — 171 users - [Elderly Launcher](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.isthmusalien.ElderlyLauncher) — 27 users - [Easy launcher - for seniors](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.home.launcher) — 2,350 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.citizen.app)
