Section 8: Applications

This section contains a description of each application that is
available on the Apps screen, its function, and how to
navigate through that particular application. If the application
is described in another section of this user manual, then a
cross reference to that description is provided.

Managing Applications

The Apps screen displays all applications installed on your
phone, including apps you download and install.
From Apps, you can change the way apps appear on the
screen, uninstall apps you have downloaded, and share apps
with friends. When you install new apps, new screens are
added to hold them.
Tip: To open applications quickly, add the icons of
frequently-used applications to one of the Home
screens, if it is not there by default. For details, see "App
Shortcuts" on page 34.
Updating Applications
Once you have registered your device (see "Software
Update" on page 218) and signed into your Google account
(see "Creating a New Google Account" on page 15), you may
see the Updates Available notification in the Status Bar
if there is a new version of one or more apps available or,
when you open an application that is preloaded on your
device, an Update Available message may be displayed.
To update the applications:
1. Touch the top of the screen and swipe downward.
The Notification Panel displays.
2. Touch Updates available.
