Hi all,
Looking for a way to set up an iPhone so that my grandma (cannot read but can read numbers, almost 90) can use it to call/facetime. Fully intend on setting it at super large font, limiting apps available on home screen, etc but any helpful advice on useful apps or useful settings would be great!
Thanks so much x
Every setting is personal. Since you grandma is having a problem with reading, teach her how to communicate with the iPhone using Siri. Siri can compose and read the messages, can initiate a FaceTime and other calls.
