Free card

Their phone, your app.

Be exact about the phone — the steps change between models and versions. Add anything they struggle with.

Free. Takes a few seconds.

Why this exists

The phone isn't the problem. The instructions are.

Generic 'how to FaceTime' pages show the wrong phone, the wrong version, and tiny type. A card written for their exact phone, in their size, by their chair, is what actually works.

How it works

Sixty seconds. One page. Tape it up.

01

Name the phone and the app

Model and rough age. The app you use. Their names and yours.

02

Get the card

Numbered steps with the exact words and icons on their screen, what to do when it goes wrong, big type.

03

Print and tape

By the chair, on the fridge. Next visit, walk through it once together.

Plans

The card is free. That's the point.

Common questions

What do I actually get from this?

You get a one-page card, in big type, with numbered steps written for the exact phone and app you tell us (FaceTime, WhatsApp, Google Meet, Zoom, or Messenger). It's made to print out and tape up, and it comes in English and Spanish with no account needed.

Is it really free? Is what I type in stored anywhere?

Yes, it's free. The material describes it as free and says you don't need an account to use it, but it doesn't go into detail about data storage beyond that, so we can't tell you more than what's stated here.

Will the card match exactly what my grandparent sees on their phone?

It's written for the phone and app you named as they commonly appear, but a software update can move a button around, so it may not match perfectly. That's why the tool suggests walking through the card together on your next visit.

Which phones and apps does this work for?

You tell it the phone your grandparent has and how you want them to reach you — FaceTime, WhatsApp, Google Meet, Zoom, or Messenger — and it builds the card around that specific combination.

Is this made by Apple, Google, or the phone company?

No. The tool clearly states it is not affiliated with Apple, Samsung, Google, Meta, Zoom, or any carrier. It writes instructions from the phone model and app you name, but it cannot actually see the device, and screens change with software versions.
