A whole new way to communicate
The second screen helps you get your message across by showing it on the front of your device. This can be helpful in noisy environments used in addition to your Grid voice.
When you’re creating your message in Grid – the text that you can see in your chat window also appears on your second screen. Find out more about the second screen options available in Grid.

Symbolised messages
You’ll notice that if you’re using symbols, these also appear on the second screen, which is ideal for communicating with someone who uses symbols to support their understanding of language.
Symoji
Symoji is a fun new feature enabling you to quickly communicate using an animated character. Use Symoji to add meaning or emotion to something you’ve said already or communicate a whole idea or feeling by itself, with a single selection.
When a Symoji is selected, it will appear on your second screen. There are lots of Symojis to choose from, divided into three categories to make it easy to find the one you want to use.
Symoji is built into Super Core, Text Talker and Fast Talker. You can also use the stand-alone Symoji grid set.
