Tip: Choose your apps and updates carefully, from
trusted sites like Play Store, as some may impact
your phone’s performance—see “Choose carefully” on
page 13.
Note: When installing an app, make sure you read the
alerts that tell you what information the app will access.
If you don’t want the app to have access to this
information, cancel the installation.
Create shortcut folders
You can use home screen folders to logically group and
store your app shortcuts in a single location.
To create a shortcut folder in the home screen, drag one
shortcut onto another to put them both in a folder. To
add other shortcuts, drag them onto the folder icon.
To name the folder, touch it and enter a name at the
bottom.
