Make a Pixel 7 Grandma Friendly

[DrMacintosh]

Hey all, my friends grandma is, to put it frankly, old. She accidentally dropped her old flip phone in the toilet and its dead. TMobile had a deal to get a Pixel 7 for only $99, literally any other phone would have been more expensive, so naturally we got her the Pixel. I'm wondering if there is a setting on the phone that will let me put the phone in a "grandma mode". aka large text, few apps on screen (phone, text, camera?). 

 

Thanks!

use a home screen that lets you set a 3x3 grid of apps (i use nova launcher, the free version is fine.)

 

for the rest i'd guess there's some accessibility options? i'm not too well versed on that.

Oh.. bonus suggestion... install teamviewer free version on the phone. if grandma has an issue, you can just teamviewer into the phone.

Why not just get another flip phone? Or an iPhone because I’m guessing a $99 pixel

7 is on an expensive AF contract.

Wasn’t working out. Can’t text with it. I’m not the account holder so what phone to get her wasn’t my call. It was “get a Pixel 7 for $99 when you add a line”

Just doesn’t really make much sense but then again American phone networks don’t make much sense to me. I get more data roaming there bolted onto my normal contact for less than a 10GB sim only costs there.
