Thank you. I press with my finger, right?
Gesture & etiquette
Sit beside them so the phone screen faces both. Hold phone steady, screen at their eye level. Point with the back of a finger (gentle, not aggressive). Demonstrate slowly. Let them try. Never grab the phone away to do it faster.
Tech support for seniors requires extraordinary patience. The humble 'お見せします' (let me humbly show) frames the assistance as honoring their interest. Never take the phone from their hand — that signals dismissal. Increase font size in settings, use simple-mode launchers if available. Let them practice. Patience matters far more than speed.
