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: You can keep swiping in one direction to move through all the home screens, 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.
