Updated look and feel
Splashes of color, flattened buttons and screen layouts, and new wallpaper and icons – these are some of the elements you
will notice with the fresh new look of BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.1.
Modernized visual elements help you navigate your BlackBerry device and improve your productivity within apps. In the
apps installed with the BlackBerry 10 OS, the action bar at the bottom of the screen uses color to highlight the next, or next
best action. Icons for key tasks remain visible in the action bar to help you stay productive and get work done. In some
apps, for example Adobe Reader, the action bar disappears when you scroll, giving you a full-screen view of the content.
On the home screen you can see your open apps, and when you swipe left you can see all your apps. By default, when no
apps are open, the home screen displays only your wallpaper. Also, there is no restriction on the number of apps you can
add to folders on the home screen.

Android apps
Get apps and games designed for Android devices and install them on your BlackBerry device from the Amazon Appstore!
Your device uses BlackBerry Guardian to check the integrity of the Android apps you download to your device. BlackBerry
Guardian can warn you if the app is potentially harmful to your device or data, and gives you the option to cancel or
continue the installation.
Android apps that you download to your device are closely integrated with the BlackBerry 10 OS. When you tap the share
icon in an Android app, you can share the Android app content with contacts that are associated with other apps on your
device (for example, BBM contacts) or share the information with another app (for example, the BlackBerry Remember
app). Also, on the Accounts screen, you can view accounts that are associated with some Android apps that you download
to your device.
