Smartphones have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. The smarter it is, the more convenient it is, but for the older parents and elders in the family, the smarter it does not necessarily bring convenience, but the various troubles caused by not understanding. If we're constantly at home, these problems aren't a big deal; But what if you don't have time to go out often? Considering this practical factor, Xiaobian also recommends that you have time to teach your parents and elders to use some of the "help the elderly" functions in the new ColorOS 14, I believe that with the help of these functions, playing the machine can be easier! So now interested friends will take a look together!
| Help & Feedback
The opening article also mentions that if we are often away, if our parents do not know how to operate the mobile phone in the process of using it, what should we do at this time?
It's very simple, try ColorOS 14's new "Help & Feedback", which has a super comprehensive graphic/video game guide, with a basic tutorial of the system, instructions for using various practical tools, and tips on playing with third-party applications, where you can find solutions to most difficult problems encountered when playing games.
If parents don't understand something, they can go to Settings > and scroll to the bottom of "Help & Feedback" to find the solution to the problem.
If you can't find it, you can also click the "blue earphone" button in the lower right corner to seek help from online customer service, I believe that the empathetic customer service will make an easy-to-understand and comprehensive answer for you, and OPPO customer service will always solve problems for you!
II. Easy Mode
"Easy Mode", a feature developed for the convenience of the older generation, is a feature that increases the display of icons and fonts on the desktop, and turns up the volume so that you can see and hear more clearly.
The system navigation mode will also be changed to virtual buttons by default; At the same time, the simplified important functions will be displayed by default, which will not have excessive learning costs for parents and elderly people at home, and it will be easier and more convenient to use.
The way to enable it is also very simple, you only need to enter "Settings> Features" and click "Easy Mode".
And in addition to the advantages mentioned above, the most powerful thing that makes me think this function is that the new "mobile phone use help" card is added on the desktop in this mode, where it will provide instruction manuals, customer service telephones, Xiaobu intelligent Q&A, remote assistance and official store addresses, etc., to help parents and the elderly solve the problems encountered when playing the machine, very intimate!
III. Font Adjustments
People of my parents' generation sometimes look at the text on the mobile phone and are a little unclear, after all, they are old, and occasional fireworks are normal, of course, it is not excluded that the font originally set by the system is too small.
If there is such a reason, then it is recommended that you readjust the size and thickness of the font in the "Settings> Display & Brightness > Font", and then adjust and click on the app, so that the text on the mobile phone will be clearer and clearer!
IV. Universal infrared remote control
When my parents get home and want to turn on the air conditioner or TV, but they can't find the remote control, and they can't remember where to put it for a while, they must be in a hurry. It's normal to be a little forgetful when you're older, but for the fact that you can't find the remote control, even young people may not be able to withstand it for a while, after all, the sense of anxiety that can't find something is really uncomfortable, in order to solve this problem, it is recommended to add the electrical equipment that supports infrared remote control at home to the parents' mobile phones, and then we only need to use the mobile phone to control all household appliances, which is very convenient.
It is also very simple to add a device in the "IR Remote Control", just click "+" to enter the remote control to add interface;
We can select the type of equipment first, select the brand of electrical appliances for testing, and perform specified operations according to the prompts of the system to successfully bind the equipment;
You can also use the shooting remote control directly for device identification, select and add the remote control.
V. Family Space
In addition to the above-mentioned features, ColorOS 14.1 also has a very intimate "family space", through which we, as children, are always able to escort our parents even if they are not around.
After adding a "Family Member" to the "Family Space", you can click on the avatar to view the health data of the member (you need to wear a bracelet/watch, go to the "Health" app to obtain data authorization);
As well as his real-time positioning, if necessary, you can set up a guard area (you will be reminded when you go out of the safe area).
Of course, when family members encounter some network security problems (such as viruses, application risks, etc.) when playing the machine, our mobile phones will also receive reminders, so that we can take corresponding measures, which is very easy to use.
If we really encounter something that cannot be solved, we can also help the family solve the problem by making a phone call (call), remote assistance (screen sharing) or a small cloth video call.
The above is a collection of intimate and easy-to-use functions for the elderly in ColorOS 14, hurry up and arrange it for your family!
