    BIG Launcher tip: also install the "Google Assistant" app from the Play Store. This lets you add Google Assistant as one of the buttons in BIG Launcher, so users can easily use voice commands.

    It also helps to install some of the extra icon packs, so that the icon for Google Assistant can be changed from the abstract "bubble with some bubbles inside" into something more familiar (ie. the microphone icon users are used to).

    I'd add MACRODROID is a fantastic complement to BIG launcher.

    I've set it up so it auto answers from a.white list of numbers and blocks others.

    A one touch button will call designated numbers, defaulting to WhatsApp voice if in WiFi range.

    It can also reply to a SMS from one of the same numbers with location information.

    And ring/vibrate as when their phone disconnects from their Bluetooth hearing aid (eg they've left it behind)

    @thewatershed @jmjm Thank you for that. My own cell phone usage is mostly in the Apple world but I work with a lot of people with Android phones so I try to find what will work for them.
