If caregivers are willing and able to program a smartphone to their own specifications, then it’s likely they’ll be able to do the same for someone who needs a very simplified user experience on their smartphone. Most means of simplifying a user interface are available in a device’s native settings, and can include Accessibility Settings, touch ID setup, and other minor adjustments such as those included in our Tips for Caregivers section above. For users of Android phones who require the simplest interface possible, launcher apps are available in the Google Play Store which, when downloaded, provide a seemingly brand-new user experience. There are lots of well-reviewed launchers for seniors available in the Play Store that can simplify the Android user experience in a variety of ways, and most of them require very little technical knowledge to install and set up. When purchasing a smart device for a beginner, it’s necessary to teach them how to operate their device to accomplish basic tasks. This can take time and patience, but it’s worthwhile.
