In-home mobile device help
Get one iPhone, iPad, or Android device connected, configured, and easier to use—with patient explanations, customer-controlled accounts, and clear follow-up instructions.

Phone and tablet setup FAQ
Yes. Tech Genie provides in-home setup, troubleshooting, and guidance for existing iPhone, iPad, and Android devices in the Los Angeles area. Common help includes Wi-Fi, email, contacts, apps, video calls, storage, accessibility settings, and clear follow-up notes.
A focused service call or diagnostic starts at $95 and is usually scheduled for one hour. Final scope can change with the number of devices, travel, access, account-provider delays, parts, or additional work, and Tech Genie confirms the scope before it expands.
Tech Genie can assist with supported Apple, Google, or manufacturer transfer tools and verify agreed items, but cannot guarantee that every app, message, photo, account, or unsupported item will transfer. The customer controls sign-in and any account-recovery steps.
Tech Genie can explain official provider recovery steps but cannot bypass a passcode, Activation Lock, device security, or ownership checks and cannot guarantee recovery. The customer or approved family member must control the process and type passwords and MFA codes.
No. This service is for setup, troubleshooting, teaching, and documentation rather than broken-screen, battery, or board-level repair, carrier disputes, or warranty-depot work. Tech Genie can help identify the appropriate manufacturer, carrier, or repair path.
No. The customer types passwords and MFA codes directly and controls purchases, subscriptions, recovery choices, and the work performed. Tech Genie does not collect credentials or use hidden or unattended remote access.
