• Install apps remotely. On a computer, visit play.google.com. Browse apps on the bigger screen and then
install them on your phone from your computer.
Your home screen:
• On your old iPhone, your home screen was far left. Now, you start with one home screen and can add
more pages to the right as needed.
• Your old phone showed all apps on your home screen. With your new phone, you can put shortcuts to
your most important apps on your home screen for easy access. Or, find your full list by swiping up
from your favorites tray . This frees up room on your home screen for widgets, making your new home
much more lively.
• Like your old iPhone, you'll see notifications at the top of the screen, which you can swipe down to
review. But on your new phone, you can swipe them left or right to dismiss them.
Quick access to settings: On your old iPhone, to adjust settings you opened a Settings app. You can still do
that. But now you've also got quick settings . Swipe down from the top of the screen for easy access to
toggles for airplane mode , Wi-Fi , and other frequently-used settings.
In the cloud: Your Google account is your key to cloud storage with Google. If you migrated your contacts
to your phone, then you can see them from any device or computer by logging into Gmail. Your Google
account includes apps like Calendar and Drive that let you work well with others. And it has apps that let you
play too - access your photos, videos, music from any device when you log in with your Google account. Use
YT Music to upload your iTunes library.
File sharing: If you used AirDrop on your iPhone, now you'll use Nearby Share to easily share files or links
with friends .
About your Google account
Benefits of your account
When you set up your phone, you added a Google account. If you haven't had a Google account before, this
is more than just a password you set up for your phone.
A Google account lets you organize and access your personal information and files from any computer or
mobile device:
•
Synchronize everything. Never lose your contacts. Associate them with your Google account if you
create them on your phone, and view them from Gmail on any computer or by signing into your Google
account on any phone. Create emails or calendar events on your phone and view them on any
computer. Access your browser bookmarks from any device.
•
Store in the cloud. Upload your photos , videos , and music to the cloud; get to all of it without taking up
space on your phone.
•
Keep your stuff secure. Your account password secures it all and lets you access it from anywhere.
Maintaining your account
Other than remembering your password, you don’t need to do much maintenance on your Google account -
just enjoy the benefits of your secure, synchronized information. However, you can:
•
Control how frequently your phone syncs your information.
•
Review and manage the information Google collects from you, such as search and browsing history.
