I was reading a blog & related discussion recently – about how young programmers brought up on phones/tablets lack a basic understanding of the inner workings of computers because as technology has advanced and become more user friendly they are shielded from having to know about it.
My experience is kids aren’t afraid of technology (probably aren’t worried about breaking it and no idea they should find it complex) and are going to explore it like kids of my generation did with the VCR.
It isn’t any harder to organize your apps, create folders for pics, update the operating system, optimize storage etc than it is to throw a tennis ball against a wall. Better for your eyes to do the tennis ball thing though.
Some of my coworkers give their work phones to their kids to play with. They download apps that promise some functionality, but their main function is to act as a launcher. It hides the true user interface and funnels ads to the phone and breaks the “work side’

My youngest daughter is very tech savvy. She shows me a lot of things about my phone that I don’t even know it has.

Now he’ll spend the rest of the day putting them back in the order he had/wanted them in originally.

If she updated all his apps, half of them are likely broken or useless due to all the adverts.

Good thing Darryl had all his ‘special’ pictures of Wanda in a hidden and password protected file.
