Section 8: Applications

This section contains a description of each application that is available on the Apps screen, its function, and how to navigate through that particular application. If the application is described in another section of this user manual, then a cross reference to that description is provided.

Managing Applications

The Apps screen displays all applications installed on your phone, including apps you download and install.

From Apps, you can change the way apps appear on the screen, uninstall apps you have downloaded, and share apps with friends. When you install new apps, new screens are added to hold them.

Tip: To open applications quickly, add the icons of frequently- used applications to one of the Home screens, if it is not there by default. For details, see “Customizing Your Home Screen” on page 27.

• Amazon Appstore: For more information, see “Appstore (Amazon)” on page 115.
