Your Home Screen; Creating Shortcuts - Samsung GALAXY S III User Manual

Your Home Screen

The home screen is the starting point for your phone's applications, functions, and menus. You can
customize your home screen by adding application icons, shortcuts, folders, widgets, and more.
Your home screen extends beyond the initial screen. Swipe the screen left or right to display
additional screens.
Note: Your phone's home screens cycle through so that you can keep swiping in one direction and
make it back to the home screen. The small circles toward the bottom of the screen let you know
your current screen position.
Tip: Press to return to the main home screen from any other screen.
