Image enhancement
Enhance the quality of photos and videos when viewing them on your device. For
example, use Super-vivid mode to make colours appear more vibrant on-screen.
Screen rotation
Set the screen to rotate automatically when the device is turned, or set it to stay in
portrait view.
Screen saver
Set up a screen saver that automatically displays colours, photos or a slideshow
while your device is docked or charging and the screen is idle. On a device with
multiple users, each user can have individual screen saver settings.

Screen pinning

Use screen pinning to set your device to display only the screen for a specific
application. For example, if you are playing a game and you accidentally touch the
Home navigation key, the screen pinning feature prevents the active game app
screen from being minimised. You can also use this feature when you lend your
device to another person to make it harder for them to access more than one
application. For example, you can lend your device to somebody to take a photo
and pin the screen to the Camera application so that the person can't easily use
other apps such as Email.
Screen pinning is not a security feature and does not fully prevent other users from
unpinning a screen and accessing your device. To protect your data, you should set up your
device to request a screen lock PIN, password or pattern before someone can unpin the
screen.

deny permissions individually for each app, either from the Settings menu or from
the Permission confirm dialog. Permission requirements depend on the app's
