Discovering More from Our Smart Phones

Thirteen members joined the Macular Degeneration Support Group on October 5, either in person or via Zoom, for an informative look at the latest smartphone features and accessibility tools.

Members explored new and familiar capabilities of Siri and Google Assistant, along with the growing ability of apps to handle conversational follow-up questions. The group also learned about a new feature in the Be My Eyes app that allows volunteers to access a user’s computer screen and provide real-time assistance with computer issues.

BARD users described their positive experiences with recent improvements to the BARD Mobile app, particularly its much-improved search function. The meeting wrapped up with a look at some of the newest features in the Photos app.
