Real scenarios
Short stories from families who simplified the phone.
Parent with dementia — one or two named buttons
One screen on her phone with one or two large buttons, each with the one name she knows you by. A tap starts a call; the rest of the phone stays as it was.
Keeps opening the wrong chat in WhatsApp
One button with your name on her phone opens your WhatsApp chat directly, without the chat list.
Hard to read small phone icons
Instead of a grid of small icons she gets a separate screen of a few wide buttons, each with one name in large capitals on a solid colour.
Lives alone — the people she calls, on one screen
A few large buttons on her phone, one per person she calls most, so a call starts from one screen instead of the contact list.
Family abroad — you set up, they tap one button
Build her buttons on your own phone with your number in international format, then send them to her as a link.
Video call without hunting for the button
One button with your name on her phone opens a WhatsApp video call link, so she does not have to find the camera icon.
