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 (110-2) of the tactile display and thereby disabling it from receiving input and providing output of further tactile data and maintaining an active area (110-1) 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 (110-2) of the tactile display and thereby disabling it from receiving input and providing output of further tactile data and maintaining an active area (110-1) for receiving input and providing output of further tactile data. <EOS>
