A tactile telecommunications device, the tactile telecommunications device comprising: a tactile display configured to receive input of tactile data and to output tactile data, said tactile display being associated with tactile display properties including size of the tactile display; a communications interface configured to establish a connection with a second tactile telecommunications device to send and/or receive tactile data, said second tactile telecommunications device comprising a second tactile display being associated with tactile display properties including display size of the tactile display of the second tactile telecommunications device; a memory configured to store said tactile display properties; and a controller configured to: receive said tactile display properties for said second tactile telecommunications device; determine a common property by comparing said tactile display properties for said tactile display and said tactile display properties for said second tactile display; determine whether an adaptation is required by determining whether the tactile telecommunications device is having a larger tactile display size compared to the display size of the second telecommunications device, and if so, adapt operation of said tactile display accordingly to the display size of the tactile display of the second tactile telecommunications device by deactivating an area of the tactile display and thereby disabling it from receiving input and providing output of further tactile data and maintaining an active area for receiving input and providing output of further tactile data. a tactile display configured to receive input of tactile data and to output tactile data, said tactile display being associated with tactile display properties including size of the tactile display; a communications interface configured to establish a connection with a second tactile telecommunications device to send and/or receive tactile data, said second tactile telecommunications device comprising a second tactile display being associated with tactile display properties including display size of the tactile display of the second tactile telecommunications device; a memory configured to store said tactile display properties; and a controller configured to: receive said tactile display properties for said second tactile telecommunications device; determine a common property by comparing said tactile display properties for said tactile display and said tactile display properties for said receive said tactile display properties for said second tactile telecommunications device; determine a common property by comparing said tactile display properties for said tactile display and said tactile display properties for said second tactile display; determine whether an adaptation is required by determining whether the tactile telecommunications device is having a larger tactile display size compared to the display size of the second telecommunications device, and if so, adapt operation of said tactile display accordingly to the display size of the tactile display of the second tactile telecommunications device by deactivating an area of the tactile display and thereby disabling it from receiving input and providing output of further tactile data and maintaining an active area for receiving input and providing output of further tactile data.
