Android 101: How to Use Your Android Smartphone or Tablet
What to Know The basic operation of Android devices revolves around the Home Screen, Notifications, Search Bar, App Drawer, and Dock. Android devices may differ depending on the manufacturer, but many features are the same. Android 101: Home Screen, Notifications, Search Bar, App Drawer, and Dock The top of the Home Screen tells you quite a bit about what’s going on with your smartphone or tablet. The right side displays information such as your carrier or Wi-Fi connection strength, battery life, and the current time. The Google Search bar is at the top of the screen or below the time widget on most Android smartphones and tablets. The main portion of the screen contains icons for apps and widgets. Widgets are small apps that run on the Home screen. The App Drawer is usually depicted by a white circle with black dots lined up on the inside. To reboot a device, hold the Suspend button for several seconds, then choose Power off. To capture a photo of the screen, hold the Suspend and Volume down buttons at the same time. Move apps, create folders, and add new widgets to the Home screen, such as a monthly calendar.
Place an app anywhere on the screen between the search bar and the dock as long as there is an empty space for it. When the icon is in the location you want, lift your finger to drop the app in place. If you can’t find it on your Home Screen, open the App Drawer. Whether you have a Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, or Motorola Z, use widgets to customize your device to your specifications.
You can also put your calendar on the screen as a widget for quick access to meetings, appointments, events, and reminders you have for the day. The Google Nexus tablet uses an alternative scheme that is popular among some Android devices. If you didn’t see an option for widgets when you held your finger on the screen, follow these steps: The App Drawer icon looks like a circle with black dots lining up on the inside. If you want the equivalent of Siri on your Samsung Galaxy, HTC, or another Android tablet, Google Assistant and Samsung Bixby bring you a true virtual assistant. There are also a number of personal assistant apps on the Google Play store. Say, “Show me a nearby pizza restaurant,” and the Assistant will display your options. Set alarms, calculate tips, ask general interest questions, and much more.
Aside from simple queries, Google Assistant can handle more complicated tasks, including making dinner reservations using an AI-powered technology called Google Duplex. Duplex also powers easy online food ordering, automatically filling in your personal info and payment details while you check out.
A beginner’s guide to Android: Everything you need to know
You might not get the true Android experience as Google intended, and you won’t see the same messaging unification across devices. On the flip side, however, you likely won’t encounter the same in-app restrictions, giving you more purchasing freedom than you had on an iPhone. If you choose the latter, there are three methods: Connecting the older phone using a USB cable, grabbing a backup stored in Google Drive, or transferring data from an iPhone.
Manufacturers such as Samsung and Huawei may ask you if you want to create an additional, manufacturer-specific account, but you don’t really need to unless you want to use that company’s services as well.
Step 7: Select what you want to restore: Apps Contacts, SMS Messaging, Device Settings, or Call History. To set up the fingerprint scanner, simply place your finger on the sensor multiple times until your digit is registered. Manufacturers typically equip their Android devices with the three-button navigation system at the bottom and use additional gesture controls. Additionally, holding the button down when using your browser should automatically open up a menu that makes it easy to access your favorite bookmarks, browsing history, and the websites you visit most often.
This button resides on the right side on Samsung phones, but it can be moved to the left in Settings > Display > Navigation Bar. In the most recent version of Android, holding down the home button will also activate Google Assistant. This button resides on the left side on Samsung phones, but it can be moved to the right in Settings > Display > Navigation Bar. For instance, on stock Android 11, swiping up from the bottom takes you back home from any app.
You can turn on gesture controls by taking this route: Settings > Display > Navigation Bar. You can create, resize, and arrange various widgets too, which display real-time information from apps and may even be interactive. At the top you’ll find the Quick Settings bar, which you can also expand by dragging down its “handle.” On Samsung phones, this handle can’t be seen. In both stock Android and Samsung phones, you’ll find a Clear link to dismiss all notifications on the shade. The Quick Settings bar is a convenient way to access your most-used features on the fly and is usually the same experience across all Android phones. It receives a slight update with each new version of stock Android while some manufacturers apply custom tweaks.
When you fully expand the Quick Settings panel, it’s jam-packed full of tappable buttons spanning one or two pages. This saves you time by giving you direct access to those settings versus tapping through various categories.
Samsung phones have an additional toggle to turn on Outdoor Mode that brightens the screen to its maximum for 15 minutes.
Finally, stock Android provides a gear icon that opens the device settings. The pencil icon allows you to edit the Quick Settings bar so you can move and remove buttons as needed. Samsung adds a search tool, quick access to the power-off screen, and means to change the button order and overall layout.

OneDrive, Dropbox, Box Shopping: Walmart, Amazon, Sam’s Club, Target All manufacturers outside Google install a custom launcher, which is essentially a skin for the Home screen that changes the App Drawer interface, provides different app shortcut icons and fonts, and adds custom widgets and a few other things. Google Assistant is available on all Android devices running Marshmallow 6.0 or later, and it has one major advantage over other mobile operating systems: The search engine. For example, Google Assistant will use your search history to display relevant news stories and sports scores.
If those commands aren’t working, or if you would like to tweak the feature’s settings, open the Google app on your smartphone. You’ll also see it running in an emulator on Chrome OS, adding Android app support to Google’s web-centric operating system for laptops and desktops.
A budget Android phone running an older version of the platform offers a radically different experience than the latest Samsung flagship.
Unlike Apple’s devices, Android phone owners can install (or sideload) apps made available outside Google Play, like Fortnite. The problem is, installing these unsecured apps can be risky, as they could have potential malware that can steal your information, like credit card numbers and account passwords. Most recent devices come with power-saving modes and charge using a simple USB-C cable — the kind you can find nearly anywhere.
The Pixel line of phones is Google’s official smartphone range, and they’re guaranteed consistent updates. Major hacks like Stagefright and Heartbleed have prompted Google to act with monthly security patches for devices, but many manufacturers and carriers stall those updates, resulting in millions of vulnerable Android phones. Android is more customizable and versatile than iOS, which makes it pretty darn irresistible if you can forgo Apple’s ecosystem. Though it may be difficult for someone who owns a fleet of Mac products at home to make the switch, it can be done with a little patience and perseverance.
We have a comprehensive tutorial on switching from iPhone to Android for you, complete with instructions for moving your music, photos, and contacts.
