The Smartphone Confidence Kit

Most smartphones arrive with no manual, and most people end up using perhaps a tenth of what the device can actually do. This kit fills in the rest, in plain, numbered steps, without assuming any prior knowledge. It works for both iPhone and Android, with differences noted where they matter.

• Understanding your home screen and the basic gestures, explained properly
• Step by step: setting up the essentials, text messages, and photos
• Video calling made simple, and backing up your photos so you never lose them
• Battery, storage, and updates explained — plus fixes for common problems
• 3 worksheets: apps I actually use tracker, settings checklist, and a common problems log
