Become your own iPhone guru

Your first time using an iPhone comes with a lot of excitement. It can also be a bit intimidating. After all, it’s jam-packed with apps and cool features, but there’s no handy manual to help you unravel all the device’s mysteries. iPhone For Seniors For Dummies can help you take your first iPhone steps and save you the trouble of finding someone to answer your questions. It features the tasks that you most likely want to do—like chatting on FaceTime, shooting videos and photos, and connecting on social media. It also introduces you to the App Store so that you can break away from the iPhone’s pre-installed apps and really personalise your shiny gadget.

The easy-to-follow steps in this book, with its accompanying illustrations, help you manage, personalise, and communicate using your iPhone. You discover how to do everything from shopping online and organising appointments to taking and sharing pictures and downloading and listening to your favourite music. It provides help with brand new iPhone models as well as older devices, including how to upgrade older iPhones with the latest software. Topics include how to:

  • Swipe, tap, and scroll through the iPhone interface
  • Capture memorable photos and home videos
  • Find apps in the App Store
  • Customise your iPhone’s accessibility features
  • Bypass the keyboard and use Siri
  • Read books and listen to music
  • Keep your iPhone working

If you’re new to the iPhone or just need a reminder on how to do a few things, iPhone For Seniors For Dummies gives you all the tips and tricks you need. You’ll soon be swiping and tapping its screen as if you’ve been doing it forever.
