Accounts
Your phone provides the ability to synchronize information,
from from a variety of accounts, including Email, Facebook,
Google, and your Samsung account. Depending on the
account, you can choose to synchronize your calendar,
contacts, and other types of content.
Contacts from your accounts display in your phone’s
Contacts.
With synchronization, you can ensure that information on
your phone is updated with any information that changes in
your accounts.
Controlling Synchronization
You can choose to have your phone automatically
synchronize with your accounts, or manually synchronize
each account when you want to check messages.
You may also choose to limit automatic or background
