Explore your tiles, apps, and settings
Everything you need is on 2 views: the start screen and apps menu. Fill the start screen with
shortcuts to your favorite apps and the contacts you need the most, and find all your apps
easily in the apps menu.
The start screen consists of tiles, which are shortcuts to your apps, contacts, browser
bookmarks, and more. Some tiles may show you notifications and updates, such as your
missed calls, received messages, and the latest news.
