Luckily, they never install anything, and they send me a screenshot whenever they get a notification, email or SMS they didn't expect.
Honestly, I do regret not having given them iPhones when they still had the cognitive ability to learn new user interfaces. iOS UI, on its most basic, default form, has remained stable except for cosmetic changes and the move away from the home button. Also UI is generally quite consistent between apps. Android on the other hand, keeps changing and varies wildly depending on the manufacturer and generation.
Now it's too late for them to learn new UI paradigms, so I'm stuck with near-vanilla Android flavours.
70% of the world runs on Android. Do you think they get their banking information stolen every 6 months?
