screen.
Swipe right or left to move between home screens.
What’s on the screen

connections. Swipe down to see your notifications and quick settings.

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.

to search for an app or view the app tray.
