Samsung Galaxy Guide for Seniors

Your phone should make life easier - and it should never be the way a trickster reaches your money.



This book slows it down - every Samsung Galaxy basic in big print, one calm step at a time, with the safety habits that keep scam calls and texts away from your money.



WHAT THIS BOOK IS


A complete large-print Samsung Galaxy guide for seniors: from waking the phone and making the first call, to texting a photo and seeing the family on a video call. Woven through it is the safety layer most guides skip - the three rules that stop nearly every phone trick, how to block a pest caller, and why you never share a code. Written for Samsung Galaxy phones running Android (built around the Galaxy A17; steps may look slightly different on other models).
