I had set this up already but still wanted to watch the video and support the channel. Apple should get a standing ovation for offering this feature. 👏🏽

Hi Ellen, one idea that may help your seniors is to create a wallpaper on your smartphone so if you lose your phone whomever picks up the phone and taps on the screen it will show a wallpaper that says “this phone belongs to So and So, (add a family or friends phone number to call) please call and leave a detailed message ”, you can also add “reward if returned no questions asked” (if you want add an amount).
I found this to be extremely helpful in case I lose my phone or if someone in my family loses their phone the person who finds the phone will know who to return it to. I Hope this tip helps!
I wish I could show you on here how nice I made my wallpaper. Unfortunately, I cannot upload a photo on here.
