Hold the phone, help is on the way!

Help is at hand for smartphone users struggling to come to grips with the medley of apps, functions and menu options at their fingertips.

Noosaville and Cooroy Libraries will host Smartphone Help sessions for iPhone users in February and March, with Android Help sessions to follow soon after.

Over three, cost-free, two-hour sessions participants will learn about a variety of free tools and apps to make the most of their smartphones.

“We’ll also cover the basics such as making calls, scanning documents, setting up free phone calls, memo recording, calendar and reminder functions, as well as note-taking functions and more,” said Library Programs Officer Liz Bleechmore.

The sessions will be held at both Noosaville and Cooroy libraries, initially for iPhone users.

“In today’s high-tech world keeping up to date with the latest technology has many benefits but staying conversant with programs, apps, devices and operating platforms that are constantly being updated can be daunting,” Ms Bleechmore said.

“Smartphones are capable of all sorts of tasks nowadays so it pays to know how to make the most of what they can do.

“The sessions are hands-on, easy to follow and suitable for anyone who would like to better utilise their smartphone’s many functions with greater confidence.”

The training will be completed over three Wednesday sessions at Noosaville and Cooroy libraries.

Dates:

Noosaville – 11 February, 18 February and 25 February.

Cooroy – 4 March, 11 March and 18 March.
