Start Screen
Up front on the Start screen, you get to see at-a-glance
Windows Phone live tiles that continuously update and
show what’s most personal to you. You’ll see things like
your photo album, Xbox LIVE, how many new
messages and emails you have, and more.
Simply swipe your finger up or down to scroll through
the tiles on the Start screen.
Rearranging the Tiles on the Start Screen
1. Press and hold the tile you want to move until it
“floats” beneath your finger.
2. Drag the tile to the position where you want to
place it. Pause at the top or bottom edge of the
screen to drag the tile to the extended Start screen.
3. When the tile is where you want it, tap the tile to
dock it.
Pinning Items to the Start Screen
You can pin just about anything you want to the Start
screen: apps, pictures, songs, shortcuts, and even
contacts. For example, when you pin a contact to the
Start screen, you’ll get all of that person’s updates –
feeds, email, text messages, and call notfications –
right from that tile.
To pin something, let’s say a contact, to the Start
screen, press and hold it until a menu appears, and
then tap
pin to start.
