New Lockdown?

Yes, Harsh but sadly, true. I can sometimes access whatsapp but it is usually by accident. I also have a problem finding messages. I really could not rely upon either. When I get a call, I have no idea how to accept it but once found I then have the challenge of ringing back. Why can we not bring back carrier pidgeon, I'm sure I could cope better with that..

Have you got WhatsApp icon on your home screen Frankie? Call the vet give them your mobile number and ask to send a WhatsApp message.

Roscoe I would not recognise a WhatsApp icon if it jumped up and hit me in the face and what is a home screen? I do know how to send messages now though!

Can you find someone to sit with you and take you through the basics. Your home screen is what you should see when you switch your mobile on.

I did tell you Roscoe

I have been that person "to sit with you and take you through the basics"

I must admit Frankie isn't as bad as Hilde in the slimmers group. 5 attempts and I haven't even got her to log on here

You need to come and have a coffee with me Frankie.

I am the resident android help person, I even have peeps coming to me to set their phones up.

Also on standby for the in laws and their android box.

Im around most days in the Rambla after 1.30 if you want me to help you I can do a couple of things to help you

Lockdown!

Clare Shirley · 11 Nov, 2020, 07:46:34 AM

well if she has to come in for the cat cant see why she cant stop for a coffee it is a long way after all.
Supposedly its only til the 23rd of November

However I will say Frankie the offer is open at any time.

Well done Clare, Frankie I would take up the offer. It's easy to do when someone patiently shows you. Take care.

WOW!!! Thank you so much, Clare. I have to admit that Judi has spent a lot of time trying to instill the basics in me and once even tried cut and paste. It all seemed easy until I tried on my own. It all goes in one ear and out the other...
I am currently being bombarded by a new system which it wants me to change to and now I cannot even access my emails.
So the home screen is the one that comes up with pretty pictures of different places in the World?

frankie · 11 Nov, 2020, 11:43:52 AM

Just a thought Judi, I think Hilde is looking at the wrong forum, which is why she cannot see the slimmers group!

Home screen on your mobile phone not your pc

its where the pretty icons are for the different apps

frankie · 12 Nov, 2020, 12:41:03 PM

But I do not use my phone for emails, just my laptop! It really is hit and miss as to what I can access on my phone by me tapping everything.

Clare Shirley · 12 Nov, 2020, 03:37:39 PM

I can show you how to use both !!
