The best way to get comfortable with your phone is to pick just one simple task or feature to focus on. Try it out, repeat it over several days, and let yourself get used to it before moving on to something new. This approach helps you build confidence without feeling overwhelmed. Remember, every expert was once a beginner, and every new skill starts with a single step.

The first thing I did was learn how to use my voice to send text messages, I cannot type on my phone and this is easy and hands free.

The second thing was learned how to make a call using my voice.

Then I learned how to answer a call with the 2 finger tap.

Lastly I learned how to hear what icons are on the screen since I cannot see them.

Now I use ear buds and everything goes straight to my ears without everyone else hearing what is going on and I use my phone hands free for so many things.

It is easy, you will see, just practice one thing at a time for days until you are used to it and then move on.

Happy phone days.
