Change the layout of the screen by entering LAYOUT tab on About’s settings page.

Here’s how About screen looks in action:

about us
  • Map opens the location on Apple Maps and Google Maps
  • Visit webpage button opens an in-app web view of the page that you have added in the builder
  • Phone button opens your device’s default application for calls (this behaviour cannot be tested from the preview as our preview doesn’t have such apps)
  • Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram buttons open your social media links
  • Email button opens your device’s default application for emails (this behaviour cannot be tested from the preview as our preview doesn’t have such apps).
