iPhone "dumb phone mode" – Assistive Access

  It’s a bit too limited though. For example, in the simplified Photos app, you can’t zoom into a photo.

    You can install and use any app, but true; it’s very simplified.

      Normal apps being too complicated for a person is why you would use this mode in the first place. But for that purpose it’s really very barebones.

        Normal apps is compressed a bit in size with a big back button, to make it very easy to exit them. Should maybe have been a separate AppStore category for apps dedicated to this mode. I would probably try to make an app or two for it, if it existed.

  Using this with my mom. Not perfect but good. Drawbacks: 1. No way to create an entry to just check visual voicemail. 2. Images shared in messages cannot be expanded. 3. Can't leverage face unlock now. Meh. But, overall better than the chaos of the iOS platform on older folks.
