The status bar at the top of the home screen contains icons that help you monitor your phone.

• On the left, icons tell you about apps, such as new messages or downloads. If you don't know what one of these icons means, swipe the status bar down for details.
• On the right, icons tell you about your phone's battery level and network connections.

A dot means there are more icons to view. Drag down from the top of the screen to see all icons.
