Use the menus

Most applications have an application menu hidden in the upper-left corner, which provides access to additional features. There is also a connection menu hidden in the upper-right corner, which provides access to wireless services.

Some applications have additional menus. For example, in Photos, tap an open picture and tap to display a menu of tasks you can do with the picture (see Photos).

To get the most out of your smartphone, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the additional features available through the menus in various applications.

Open the application menu

The application menu contains items for the application you are working in, such as Cut and Copy, Preferences, Help, and other application-specific menu items. Help is available on the application menu of every application.

1In an app, do one of the following:

•Drag down from the upper-left corner of the smartphone (above the screen) onto the screen.

•Tap the application name in the upper-left corner of the screen.

2Tap a menu item to open it. If a menu item displays a right-pointing

arrow , tap the item to display the submenu for that item—for example, tap the Edit menu item to open a submenu containing Cut,

Copy, and Paste items. If you see a downward-pointing arrow at the bottom of the menu, scroll down to see additional menu items.

3To close the menu without selecting an item, repeat one of the options in step 1.

If an application menu item is followed by this symbol plus a letter, it means a keyboard shortcut is available for that menu item. To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold the gesture area and press the letter key of the shortcut. For examples of using keyboard shortcuts, see Cut, copy, and paste information.
