Best Senior Launcher Settings: Simple, Balanced or Comfort Look?

Not every senior needs the same phone. Easy Phone has three looks, and you can switch between them at any time. People, apps and settings stay when you switch. Only you, the family, see these names.

LookMade forWhat it looks like
SimpleVery old users, poor eyesightHuge photo buttons, nothing to swipe, Phone and SOS always at the bottom.
BalancedSomeone who needs a little helpBig clock, photo contacts, flashlight and volume, a few big apps.
ComfortUses a smartphone but taps by mistakeLooks like a normal phone (apps, dock, favourites) with tap protection and locked settings.

How to choose the right look

  • Choose Simple if your relative mainly makes calls and has trouble seeing or understanding menus.
  • Choose Balanced if they also use a few apps such as WhatsApp or the camera.
  • Choose Comfort if they already use a smartphone but often open things by accident.

During set-up, a few questions suggest the right look and a ready-made arrangement. You can change it later in the family settings (hold the Family key for 2 seconds).

Small settings that make a big difference

  • Show day and time of day: "Thursday · afternoon" under the clock helps when days blur together.
  • Show app names: turn off to show only the app logos (names are still read aloud).
  • "Apps" button: lets the senior open the full app list. Leave it off for fewer mistakes.
  • Flashlight, Louder, Wi-Fi: quick buttons on the Tools page.
  • Show the "Family" button: turn off to keep only the hidden way (hold the clock for 3 seconds).
