A short course for older people who want free texts, phone calls & video calls — to anywhere
This course has finished. We hope to repeat it soon.
Six Monday afternoons (1:30 – 3:30 pm)
30 May to 4 July 2022
A step-by-step practical guide to using WhatsApp on a phone – for beginners – and people already using WhatsApp – and people who do not have a smartphone.
By the way – this is an identical repeat of the earlier course (April-May 2022).
What you will learn to do or understand
For a detailed list of WhatsApp possibilities, look at WhatsApp features. Here’s our shortened list …
- Texts, voice calls and video calls to anywhere in the world, using an Internet connection instead of an expensive voice and SMS plan.
- Use a phone to send photos, videos, recorded voice messages and documents.
- Join WhatsApp groups with family or friends.
- WhatsApp Web – do it on a larger screen if your phone is too small for comfort.
- WhatsApp for Business (always good to know about).
Also …
- How to protect your own privacy using WhatsApp.
- How to manage your phone when WhatsApp starts filling it up with photos and videos.
- Learn a lot more about phones and mobile tech in general.
