Smartphones are mainly developed for calling and messaging purposes. All applications’ interfaces are designed for the current trends. Therefore, Senior Citizen and Low-literate users face difficulties to use smartphones due to the perceived complicated interface and functionality. This paper analyzes Senior Citizen and Low-literate user's requirements to read and write messages from users “memory load”, “navigation consistency”, “consistency and standard”, and “touch screen finger-based tapping” perspective. Then a framework based on “visual representation”, “navigation” and “miss click avoidance” is developed. A comparison between the proposed application and other messaging applications is provided.
