Greetings,
I need a cellphone for a relative who is unable to get to grips with the standard android touchscreen phones.
Problems include use of the touchscreen and inadvertently changing settings like turning the speaker off or setting flight mode.
At the retailers, I've only found the old style phones with pushbuttons, but no whatsapp. Whatsapp is still needed as much as air to breathe.
I assume it will take android to run an app, so what is needed is a simple smartphone but with reduced features or having settings which are protected against changes.
Seems a reasonable ask, but can I find that in SA?
 
Look into an iPhone with Assistive Access turned on. Not sure if theres something similar on Android.

It is on iOS 17 and up and is a native feature.
