Five practical ideas

Change the device to suit you

1. Increase text and display size

Adjust text size, display zoom and bold text until menus and messages are comfortable to read.

2. Improve contrast and reduce glare

Try contrast settings, dark or light appearance and brightness adjustments. Choose the combination that feels clearest rather than assuming one setting suits everyone.

3. Use magnification when you need it

Built-in screen magnification can enlarge a particular area while allowing you to return to the normal view when finished.

4. Explore spoken access

Screen readers, spoken content and voice assistants can reduce reliance on visual information. Learn one feature at a time.

5. Keep the home screen simple

Place important apps in predictable positions, remove unnecessary clutter and keep frequently used contacts easy to reach.
