About the Photos application

Using the Photos application, you can view photos and watch videos that you’ve taken with your phone’s camera, downloaded, or copied onto your storage card. You can also take a look at your photos and your friends’ photos that are on your social networks (Facebook and Flickr only).

For photos that are in your storage card, you can do basic editing such as rotate and crop. You can also easily make a photo as your contact picture or wallpaper and share photos with your friends.

Selecting an album

To open the Photos application, press HOME , tap	, and then
tap Photos.

The Photos application opens in the Albums screen where your photos and videos are organized by albums for easy viewing.
