Adding And Removing Primary Shortcuts; Adding And Removing Widgets - Samsung GALAXY S III User Manual

Adding and Removing Primary Shortcuts

You can change any of your primary shortcuts with the exception of the Apps shortcut. The
primary shortcuts are the bottom row of app shortcuts that remain static on all home screens (by
default Phone, Contacts, Messaging, Internet, and Apps).
Note: Before replacing a primary shortcut, you must first add the replacement shortcut to the
Home Screen. For more information, see
1. Press to display the main Home screen.
2. Touch and hold the primary shortcut you want to replace and then drag it to an empty
space on any Home screen.
3. Scroll through the Home screen to find the shortcut you want to add as the new primary
shortcut.
4. Touch and hold the new shortcut and then drag it to the empty space in the row of
primary shortcuts.
5. The new primary shortcut will now appear on all Home screens.

Adding and Removing Widgets

Widgets are self-contained applications that reside either in your Widgets tab or on the main or

Widgets can include Contacts shortcuts, bookmarks, Facebook status windows, Gmail and
email accounts, and many other types of apps.

current screen.
Removing a Widget
