Are you setting up a phone for an elderly parent, a child, or someone who is new to smartphones and wants a simpler, more straightforward experience? In this essential 2025 accessibility guide, we will show you how to enable the fantastic "Easy mode" feature on your Android device.

This is one of the most useful and least-known features, perfect for users in India and around the world who want to make their phone less intimidating and easier to use.

We will show you exactly where this setting is hidden in your Display menu and what to expect after you turn it on.

Crucially, we will also show you how easy it is to turn Easy mode off and return to the standard Android experience at any time. This means you can try it out without any fear of getting "stuck." By the end of this video, you will be able to instantly convert any compatible Android phone into a super accessible, easy-to-read device, making technology more approachable for everyone.
