<p>I set up my phone but again, the main thing is to put in the time up front to make it easy. I have all my contacts listed and calling most is as easy as saying “call x” or opening the phone icon and hitting any of the favorites listed. </p>
<p>I have messages set up to each of my usual messaging people. Say I want to message my brother. I open the messaging app and tap on his name - because it’s already there because I already sent him a message. </p>
<p>For the web, I have favorite bookmarks. Much easier than typing. Hit the safari button and use the bookmark icon at the bottom. Learn how to add blank pages or to open links in a new window and you’re mostly done. </p>
<p>I use the gmail app as well as Apple’s but I took the time to set up the gmail mailbox categories on the web so the app sorts my mail for me into five categories. Learn how to tag something as important and you’re mostly done.</p>
<p>I use Siri a lot. Not for searches but to remind myself of stuff. Learn how to say “Remind me to …” </p>
<p>This is most of what people need for daily use.</p>
