A note from Mimi

I made this guide the way I’d explain it to my own mom, sitting next to her, looking at the same screen. Go at your own pace. Skip to the part you need. And if you get stuck, I’m here.

— Mimi, founder of Ask Me Instead

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.” Isaiah 41:10 (NLT)

We’ll go through this together

Here’s what’s inside, one step at a time.

  1. 01

    Contacts: your phone's address book

    Save a new person, or fix a wrong number, on iPhone or Android. Almost everything else starts here.

  2. 02

    Text messages

    Send a text, mute a busy group chat, and block a number you don't want to hear from.

Still stuck? I’m here.

If you’d rather do it side by side, book a 45-minute call and we’ll go through it together.
