Recommendation for mobile phone foe elderly person
Comments

- whatever phone she has weird things happen -
That the Achilles heel of any sort of tech, elderly people seem to find the most perverse ways of messing up the settings like they press random buttons 24*7. Should have a PIN controlled settings menu.0 -
Once, she couldn't use her banking app, upon investigation she'd managed to delete Play Store so loads of updates hadn't been done.
I locked the home screen in an attempt to stop similar, unsuccessful.
Recently set up a smart plug for her then when I went back few days later to gain remote control, the app had vanished!
So the second time I removed the app from home screen 🤞🏻
Often she'll say that she's lost her messages, what she's done is create loads of homescreen tabs.0
