Android Instruction Video For Seniors

    I'm giving my mother an android phone and will set up the home screen to be as basic as possible.

    I will print off some basic instructions but it would be good if she had a youtube video to refer to so she could learn a bit more about the phone.

    She uses an android tablet to read newspapers and check her gmail so not an absolute beginner with android.

    All the instruction videos for beginners/seniors start off by talking about operating systems as if every beginner/senior knows what an operating system is (or needs to).

    Anyone ever come across a video that you could show your mother or grandmother that would make it easier to understand how to use a smartphone for the first time if she watched it 20 times and could refer back to it sometimes.

    I'm talking about:

    To make a call follow these steps...

    To find a number in your address book do this...

    To answer a call do this...

    A basic guide to whatsapp would be a bonus.



    Thanks.

    Each OEM uses their own skin making such a video of limited value.

    "Click on the green telephone icon if you're samsung, purple rotary phone for HTC, yellow mobile phone for LG....."
