CareDial gives an aging parent or grandparent the simplest possible phone experience: big photo tiles, one tap to call. No menus, no passwords, nothing to get lost in. You set it up and manage it from your own iPhone. FOR THE FAMILY MEMBER'S PHONE • Up to 6 large contact tiles with photos and colors • One tap calls the person. That's it • Optional red Help button that calls a contact you choose • Optional FaceTime and text choices on each tile (off unless you turn them on) • Nothing to configure, delete, or break. The phone simply shows the people who matter FOR YOUR PHONE (THE CAREGIVER) • Add, edit, and reorder their contacts from anywhere • Changes appear on their phone automatically • Turn FaceTime and texting on or off for them • Set up the Help button and decide whether it calls immediately or asks first • Pair once with a 6-digit code. No accounts to create, no passwords to remember WHAT YOU NEED CareDial connects two iPhones: yours and your family member's. • Two iPhones, each signed in to its own Apple Account. Two phones sharing one Apple Account can't connect — separate accounts are what keep each family's contacts private • iOS 17.6 or later on both phones • iCloud Drive turned on for both (Settings > your name > iCloud) • An internet connection during setup HOW SETUP WORKS 1.

After that, you manage everything from your own phone. CareDial is free. PRIVACY Contacts are stored in your own iCloud account and shared only with the phone you pair.
