1. Modify the phone’s settings
The sound on their phones is often too low or the fonts and icons are too small for older people to read. They may occasionally touch some settings by accident, rendering the phone unusable. However, smartphone settings may be too complex for them. At this point, they usually need your assistance.
2. Clear cache
Elders like to take photos and videos and share them in group chats, which in the long run may exhaust the phone’s memory and cause the phone to become slower and robots more often. Deleting photos is not enough, they need you to help clear the app cache.
3. Install or delete apps
When elderly adults buy a new phone,they usually need our help to install various programs such as Whatspp, Maps, Facebook etc. They may accidentally download some suspicious apps and keep receiveing pop-up ads, and we should help check and delete them.
4. Join the Wi-Fi network
I believe everyone has encountered it. Every time we go to a hotel, the elders will hand us their mobile phones and ask us to help connect to the Wifi network!
5. Check scam messages and groups
In addition to the above, we should pay more attention to if they have joined some weird Whatsapp groups or FB groups, or received suspicious messages with links, which might cause scam issues. We should help check their phone regularly and block these groups and messages.
