Frequently asked questions

Is this a real update?

No, it is only an animated web page and changes nothing on your device.

Why can't I write custom text?

To prevent abuse for "tech support" scams, the text is fixed and neutral with no logos or phone numbers.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes on most tablets and phones; some iPhone browsers do not support true full screen.
