Customizing Dock

The dock at the bottom of the screen can hold your most used applications or folders. While moving apps around, just drag the app or folder down to the dock. The dock appears on every screen and holds up to 6 icons.

Making Folders

Folders allow you to group similar apps together to save screen space. While organizing your apps, drag one app icon on top of another. This then creates a folder with both apps inside. You can name the folder to reflect the apps it contains.

To move more apps into a particular folder, simply return to the main screen and drag the other apps onto the folder icon. Folders contain multiple screens and you can now have numerous apps in each folder. Nine apps will display on each page, swipe across to reveal additional pages.
