Section 3: Accounts and Contacts

Accounts

Your phone provides the ability to synchronize information,
from a variety of accounts, including Email, Facebook,
Google, and your Samsung account. Depending on the
account, you can choose to synchronize your calendar,
contacts, and other types of content.
Contacts from your accounts appear in your phone's
Contacts.
With synchronization, you can ensure that information on
your phone is updated with any information that changes in
your accounts.
