DiscussionsOne UI Easy Mode was a valuable tool for setting up phones for older users who just need basic phone options with large icons and keyboards they can see.
Easy Mode has been removed from older Samsung phones like the A13 model but is still available on S20 and higher models.
Yes, the A13 model is "obsolete" but what 80 year old is going to spend $800+ for a phone they don't want to learn how to use or can't learn to use.
Please reverse this poorly thought-out decision and restore Easy Mode to all phone models - It is already developed and costs next to nothing to just leave it active.

DiscussionsThank you for the reply; if you have a suggestion on where else I should direct this subject, I would be grateful.
Of course, some elders may have the resources to spend but those living in the USA on Social Security alone often struggle to pay for basic necessities like medications and food.

DiscussionsThis section is for the Beta Software.
Some seniors in America struggle, but that's not typical. Most are retired collecting pensions, 401k, or savings. Most people have a retirement plan, and don't rely solely on social security. Yes there's plenty that do, I'd imagine it's a location/demographic thing.

DiscussionsYes, that's it. Samsung removed access to the option on the cheaper A13 model cell phone.
It's still available on my Note20 Ultra 5G and the S22 I looked at Verizon but it has been removed from the A13.
When I asked Samsung via Chat, the response was that model was discontinued. Yes, but so what? They updated it OTA to Android 12 but removed Easy Mode as an option under Settings Display.
