Google Feed
Use the Google app to search the internet. You can also enable a feed for regular
updates
‒
for example, you can get traffic information before commuting to work,
find popular restaurants in your area, see your favourite team's current score, and
more. The app can be accessed by tapping in the application list, or you can
reserve a pane on your Home screen for quick access and easy reading.

1
Touch and hold an empty area on your Home screen.

Tap , then tap the Google feed slider.

You can now swipe to the left-most pane on the Home screen to access the
Google Feed interface.
If you reserve the left-most pane for Google Feed, the main Home screen pane cannot be
changed and additional panes cannot be added to the left. Only the left-most pane can be
reserved.

Tap the Data Saver slider to enable or disable data usage for Your feed.

Xperia™ Actions
Use Xperia™ Actions to customise phone settings for different circumstances. You
can select and schedule separate phone settings for night-time, specific days,
hours or locations, and when you travel abroad. For example, have your device
automatically turn on Flight or Do not Disturb mode for times when you do not
want to receive notifications. You can also set which apps use data when roaming,
or have STAMINA mode automatically turn on when you travel abroad.
