Setting up Nonna takes about 5 minutes and is typically done by a family member on behalf of the elderly user. Once it’s done, the person using Nonna day-to-day won’t need to change any settings — they just tap a photo to call.
You don’t need to be technically skilled to do this. If you can install an app and take a photo, you can set up Nonna.

​
Set up Nonna

1

Open the app

Tap the Nonna icon on the home screen of the device. If you haven’t installed it yet, see the download guide first.
2

Create an account or sign in

Enter an email address and create a password to set up a new account. If you already have a Nonna account on another device, sign in with your existing credentials.
Use an email address that the family admin can access easily — this is the account used to manage contacts and the subscription.
3

Add family contacts

Tap Add contact and enter the name and details of each family member the elderly user will want to call. Each contact needs:
  • A name (as the elderly user knows them — “Mum”, “Marco”, etc.)
  • A photo — this is what the user taps to start a call
Repeat this for everyone in the family network.
Use a clear, close-up photo of the person’s face with good lighting. The elderly user will be tapping this photo to call, so it should be easy to recognise at a glance — ideally a recent photo they’ll immediately associate with that person.

Customize the home screen

Arrange the contact photos in the order that makes most sense — for example, the people who call most often at the top. You can also adjust text size and button size in Settings if the user needs larger controls.

​
What the elderly user sees

After setup, the home screen shows a grid of contact photos. To make a call, the user simply taps a photo. There are no menus to navigate, no dial pad, and no need to remember anything.
Before handing the device over, do a quick test call with a family member so the user can see exactly how it works and feel confident using it.

Next step

With Nonna set up, you’re ready to make your first call.
