Have you tried Apple’s Shortcuts app? I think it used to be called “Workflow” before Apple acquired them. You can create chains of actions that she uses often and trigger them at the press of a button or even by prompting Siri with a phrase of your choice. It’s kind of like IFTTT for iPhone. Unless she’s a very savvy 89 year old you’d probably need to set up the different workflows for her but IIRC it will suggest some of your most frequent actions when you launch the app. They also have a gallery of actions you can browse and might find something helpful. Edit: It looks like they even have an “accessibility” section in the gallery.

Thanks, that's an interesting idea to remove steps in repetitive chains. She doesn't do a great deal on her phone (she much prefers using her landline and has her mobile turned off most of the time "because someone might call" her!) but she's going to need to do things like approve online transactions in her banking app soon, hence my wondering about TouchID / FaceID. Most of her use doesn't involve the same chains of actions, but I'll bear this in mind when talking to her.
