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.

Now it's too late for them to learn new UI paradigms, so I'm stuck with near-vanilla Android flavours.
