This is how I helped my 84-yr-old non-tech father with computer problems all the time, and it worked great. He didn't need to do or know anything - he could just click Accept. Now I've upgraded to Big Sur (he hasn't). I just tried to help with something and was frustrated to find that that option is totally gone from the Messages app. I've looked for equivalent functionality in the Contacts app but don't see it there either.
