Notification Panel
While the icons that appear in the Notification Area of the Status Bar are useful for
a quick glance of your missed events (missed calls, unheard voicemail, new text
messages, etc.), expanding the Notification Panel will allow you to see more detail
about each notification.
Expanding the Notification Panel
1.
PRESS AND HOLD anywhere in the Status Bar and DRAG your finger down until
you reach the bottom of the screen. The Notification Panel will expand.
2.
TAP any notification in the list to automatically take you to the associated App
that handles that type of notification. For example, if you have a notification for
a new text message, TAPPING that notification will automatically take you to the
Text Messages App where you can read the full message and reply.
