Staying connected to friends and family is important for seniors. When retirees aren’t able to get together in-person with those they love, social media provides a great opportunity to maintain those invaluable relationships and connections. With so many different platforms and downloads available, it may be helpful to take a look at four of the most popular social media apps for seniors.
Facebook Mobile is Great For Seniors
Facebook is probably the most well-known social media app, boasting over 2.4 billion users. It’s becoming so ubiquitous that it almost functions as digital white pages, a place where you can find old and new friends and keep in touch with them. While there is a desktop version of the site, it’s far easier to use the service on your smartphone. The mobile version of Facebook still allows you to comment, scroll, and message, all with the touch of your screen. There’s even an “Easy” mode of the app in case you’re not familiar with Facebook’s layout.
Words With Friends Keeps Retirees Thinking
Even if it feels like a past time, games like Words With Friends keep our minds sharp and engaged. If you’ve never played with the app, it essentially operates like an online game of Scrabble. You’re able to play against friends, family, or even strangers online. The game also has no time limit, meaning you can have a session that takes anywhere from a few hours to several weeks. The app is free for both iPhone and Android, and takes only a few minutes to set up.
Stitch Grows Senior Friendships
Social media apps are excellent for staying in touch with your friends and family. But what if you’re looking to make new acquaintances? Stitch has become a popular way for older folks specifically to make new friends. The app uses your location to find other nearby retirees and seniors looking to strike up a conversation. You can chat with them directly on the app, or even arrange to meet in person. If you’re feeling nervous about meeting a stranger, bring a friend or family member to help ease the tension.
Skype Helps Us Stay In Touch
Our smart phone is capable of connecting us with family and friends, even if they’re nowhere near your home. Though there are plenty of popular video chat apps, Skype is by far the most well-known. The program has been downloaded over 1 billion times, and is available to use on any smart device. You can call your contacts the same way you would on the telephone, except with the added bonus of face-to-face chat.
Our phones are more than just a phone. These devices can connect us with countless individuals and keep us engaged. Whether it’s your friends, family, or new connections, the apps you use are great for socializing. But if you’re feeling left behind on the smartphone trend, or are struggling to find a reasonable plan, it might be helpful to solidify your budget by selling your life insurance policy.
Did you know you can sell all or a portion of a life insurance policy, even term insurance? Selling an unwanted life insurance policy is no different than selling your car, home or any other valuable asset that will create immediate cash. Contact us today to learn more.
