current page and place it on the new page.
Swipe right or left to move between pages.
Here are the parts of your home 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.
2. Widget: Your phone comes with this 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.
5. Favorites tray: Provides one touch access to your most-used apps from any home screen page. You can
customize which apps appear here.
6. Navigation:

Note: If you don't use these buttons often, they may shrink to dots or fade away, depending on the
current app. To bring them back, touch their location.
