Solve The Problem Of Mobile Phone Usage For The Elderly! Practical Tips To Help You Get Started Easily
Last week, I participated in a gathering between old classmates. After drinking for three times, Lao Wang took out his mobile phone and wanted to show his grandson to everyone. However, what I didn't expect was that after tinkering for a long time, he couldn't find the photo album. This scene made me feel very uncomfortable.
Lao Wang was an expert in the factory when he was young, but now he is stumped by his mobile phone.
On the way home, I thought that learning mobile phones for the elderly is really not a pretense, but a necessity for daily life.
I have summarized a few practical tips and share them with you.
How to easily retrieve photo albums
Lao Zhang cannot find the photo album. The key is that there are a large number of folders on mobile phones with different names, making it difficult to figure out the clues.
I taught him to press and hold the HOME button for a long time. If it is a full-screen mobile phone, just pull down the top of the screen, and a search box will appear. Enter "photo album" in it, and the phone will immediately be able to find the photo album APP.
Another good way is to drag the photo album APP to the desktop, long-press it, tap "Add to Home Screen", and then you can see the photo album icon as soon as you turn it on, which is very convenient.
After Lao Wang learned how to do it, he found the photo album in two seconds at another party, and he was so proud.
Increase the font size to make it clearer on mobile phones
To be honest, in the past, I was also "poisoned" by the small fonts on my mobile phone. I had to stretch my hands very far away and squint my eyes to read them.
Later, my daughter taught me a trick to make the font size larger.
Open the "Settings" on your phone and look for the "Display" or "Screen" option. Where there is "Font Size", adjust it to "Large" or "Extra Large" and your eyes will instantly become relaxed.
If the text on the internal page of the application is still tightly arranged, then lower the screen display resolution. Select 720P or HD mode in the corresponding setting options of the device. In this way, whether it is used to view WeChat content or browse news information, it is enough to meet your needs.
After using it, I no longer need to use a "telescope"-like tool when looking at my mobile phone. My wife initially thought that the large fonts were not good-looking, but now she also likes it presently.
Learn to operate quickly to save worry and effort
It is not enough to master the ability to find photo albums and adjust fonts. You need to review some tips to make it more smooth and applicable, so that you can use it more easily.
First, handwriting input is extremely suitable for people with poor pinyin. Writing straight in the input box has a high recognition accuracy; second, quick dialing can add children's numbers to the desktop, and you can dial them with just a tap when something happens; third, you don't need to slide to answer calls, just tap the screen. It will be much more convenient to turn on the "press home button to answer" or "click to answer" options in the settings.
Live and learn, technology can add a lot of convenience to life.
Master these few mobile phone tips, and it’s easy to video chat with your children and send messages to Moments.
Now Lao Wang shows videos of his grandson at every gathering, and he plans to learn how to buy groceries on his mobile phone.
