About your home screen
You see the home screen when you turn on and unlock your phone or swipe up from the bottom of the
screen.
Swipe right or left to move between home screens.
What’s on the screen
1. Status bar: Displays the time and icons that tell you about your phone's battery and network
connections. Swipe down to see your notifications and quick settings and to turn your phone off .
2. Widget: Your phone comes with this widget and the search widget, but isn't intended for other
resource-intensive widgets because it runs Android Go, which is optimized for limited hardware
resources. To add widgets, even if they reduce your phone's performance, install a launcher that
supports widgets for Android Go.
3. Shortcut: You can add shortcuts to open apps you use frequently.
4. Favorites tray: Provides one touch access to your most-used apps from any home screen page. You can
customize which apps appear here.
5. Navigation bar: Use gestures to move between apps and screens. You can use gestures but hide the
bar. Or, you can replace the bar with the navigation icons instead.
6. Folder: Add folders to organize app shortcuts.
Add/remove screens
You can add more home screens to the right. To add a page, drag an app shortcut or widget to the edge of
an existing page and place it on the new screen.
To remove a home screen, drag all apps, shortcuts, widgets, and folders off the screen. After you remove the
last item, the home screen will be removed.
