A 21-year-old girl has wowed social media users after she crafted a hand-drawn guide -pictured here – for her 73-year-old grandmother so she could use a mobile phone.

According to local media, Tabatha Gonzalez lives in Texas, while her grandmother lives in the city of Monterrey, in the state of Nuevo Leon, northeastern in Mexico. 

Gonzalez took to social media and wrote: “My grandmother lives alone so I made a guide to teach her how to use her first mobile since she has no idea about anything, I hope she understands.”

She added: “My grandmother is afraid of technology, I want her to learn to be in touch with it.”

The granddaughter drew colourful pictures of every screen on the phone and an explanation next to each in clear handwriting. 

One explanation reads: “See how the weather is going to be all week.”

Others included explanations on how “to take pictures,” “see what day it is,” “send messages,” and “write something so you don’t forget.” 

In the drawings, Gonzalez also sums up what each phone application is for and how they work. 

Additionally, the complete guide explains the basic functions of the phone such as the power button, the volume button, where the camera is and what the code to unlock the device is.

Gonzalez’s social media announcement spread and fellow netizens have asked her permission to use her elaborate guide with other elderly people.

One social media user, Taniagonher, wrote: “You should send me it photo by photo, to print the guide and I could use it with [my grandmother].
