Creating a contact from a text message: Open the text message conversation from the main list of conversations by double-tapping on it. At the top of the display will be the back button. A couple flicks to the right brings up the edit button. Double-tap on the edit button. Flick right to find the more info button. If it is a long conversation chain, sometimes the display will drop to the most recent entries and one needs to start again by going to the top and doublevery-tapping the edit button. Double-tap on the More Info button and a new screen pops up. Right flick through this screen to find the create new contact button or the add to existing contact button, and double-tap on the desired button. Now, the contact app is launched. If add new contact was selected, the create new contact screen is opened with the known information already placed in its field(s) (phone number and/or email address).
If add to existing contact is selected, the main contact screen is open so one can choose which contact to modify. Opening a contact causes the known info to be placed in the appropriate fields. When done or cancel is double-tapped, contacts is closed and one is placed back where one started in the message app. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 Sent from my iPhone > On 8 Jun 2014, at 7:59, "Rose Combs " <roseco...@q.com> wrote: > > I think I can see the iPhone not being for every blind person, those of us > on this list, naturally use one or another I-device so we all feel it is > relatively easy but an older blind person who may not orient well to touch, > may be slow in picking things up ... may not be a good candidate. > > Some here would say I am not a good candidate at this moment.
