Alipay has now become a national software, and it is almost indispensable for our daily lives. However, for the elderly, Alipay has problems such as its icon being too small and its functions being too complicated.

On June 10, the "Elderly Mode" was launched on the Alipay APP. When it is turned on, the icon will become larger and some unnecessary functions will be streamlined, making it very suitable for the elderly to use.

How to open: My - Settings - Elder Mode.

In July last year, Alipay launched an Alipay mini program specifically for the elderly. Search for "Care Edition" on Alipay, which brings together commonly used functions for the elderly, such as scanning codes, making payments, and paying water and electricity bills. The fonts are very large and can be added to the homepage.

Previously, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "General Design Specifications for Internet Websites Suitable for the Aged" and "General Design Specifications for Mobile Internet Applications (Apps) Suitable for the Aged" in April. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology proposed that in the elderly-friendly version of the App, it is strictly prohibited to have advertisements and plug-ins, pop-up ads, and to provide inducement buttons such as inducement to download and inducement to payment.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology pointed out that after the APP completes the aging-friendly and barrier-free transformation in accordance with the above documents before September 30, it can apply for evaluation to the China Internet Association and the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology respectively.
