⭐ What is a Stylus?

A stylus is a small pen‑shaped tool you can use on your phone or tablet instead of your finger.

It helps you:

• Tap small buttons more easily

• Write notes

• Draw or sketch

• Sign documents

• Navigate without mistakes

Think of it as a pen for your touchscreen.

⭐ Why styluses are helpful for seniors

• They keep the screen clean

They’re simple, affordable, and very helpful for everyday use.

⭐ Step 7 — Replace the tips when needed

Some styluses have replaceable tips.

If the tip feels:

• Squishy

• Worn

…simply swap it for a new one. Most packs include spares.

⭐ Step 8 — Keep your stylus clean
