Smartphone basics for seniors can seem daunting, but they’re incredibly useful for staying connected, finding
information, and managing daily tasks. Here are some basics to get started:

1. Touchscreen Navigation: Use your finger to tap, swipe, and scroll. Practice opening app
by tapping their icons.

2. Making Calls
Texting: Tap on the phone app to make calls. For texting, open the messaging app, select a
contact, and type your message.

3. Wi-Fi Connection: Connect to Wi-Fi in your home or public places to save mobile data. Go
to Settings > Wi-Fi and choose your network.

4. Apps: Download apps for news, shopping, banking, and social media from the App Store o
Google Play.

5. Safety: Keep your phone updated and use strong passwords to protect your information.
