Are the elderly abandoned by the Internet? Alipay: Elderly people can try the "Caring Edition"

The Internet has brought a lot of convenience to our lives. Shopping, paying bills, and doing business can all be done online.

However, current mobile phone interactions are designed for young people, with small text, complex content, and cumbersome operations, which discourages many elderly people.

In addition, there have been many reports recently about elderly people not being able to use mobile phones and encountering many problems offline, which makes people feel that the elderly are being abandoned by the Internet.

In this regard, Alipay offers a suggestion: If there are elders at home who need it, you can try to help them add the Alipay "Care Edition" to the homepage, and you can use it directly by clicking on it. It contains common functions for the elderly, such as taking a ride, making payments, withdrawing housing funds, paying for water, electricity and gas, and the font is larger and easier to recognize.

Alipay also welcomes suggestions from uncles, aunts, grandparents, and they will continue to optimize this function.

It is understood that the "Care Edition" mini program of Alipay is designed specifically for elderly users, with significantly larger fonts. Parents no longer have to squint their eyes or look far away when looking at their mobile phones, nor do they have to look for reading glasses everywhere.

Moreover, the functions displayed are simple and practical, and are basically the functions commonly used by the elderly, such as topping up phone bills, paying water, electricity and gas bills, checking social security and medical insurance, electronic bus cards (subway cards), online taxi-hailing, and purchasing discounted goods in supermarkets.

In addition, the mini program also contains reliable health tips provided by Ali Health, which tells the elderly the correct way to maintain their health and prevents them from being misled by false health knowledge.
