Adding and Removing Widgets

Widgets are self-contained applications that reside either in your Widgets tab or on the main or

Widgets can include Contacts shortcuts, bookmarks, Facebook status windows, Gmail and email
accounts, and many other types of apps.

2. Touch and hold an empty space on the Home screen and then tap Apps and widgets >
Widget tab.

Removing a Widget

2. Touch and hold the desired widget. This unlocks it from its location on the current screen.

Extended Home Screens

provide more space for adding icons, widgets, and more. To move an existing item to another home
screen, touch and hold the icon or widget and then drag across the screen to move from the main
screen to an extended screen.
