The Google Contacts app allows contacts to be saved in the app itself to avoid losing any contacts when saving them on the SIM card or Phone. The SIM is an external element that could get broken, damaged or lost, and if you change to another company, a change of the physical card is usually necessary. If they are saved in the Phone memory, if it does not switch on as normal for any reason, the information contained inside could be lost. The Google account saves a permanent backup of the contacts, which can be viewed or edited using other devices or computers simply by logging in to the same account.

Consequently, your number will still be seen when making outgoing calls, despite having hidden the caller ID. 34 Phone SMS and MMS Googles new texting app is called Android Messages. This app enhances the messaging experience given that it is compatible with the new RCS standard (Rich Communication Services). This standard lets you send rich messages (for example, group text-messages or messages with emojis, images, videos, locations or audio notes) through data or Wi-Fi networks. The app can be opened via the apps drawer or its shortcut on the Home screen. Create a new message by tapping Start Chat in the bottom right corner. Select the recipient(s) by entering their name, telephone number or email address in the text-entry box near the top of the screen, or select them directly from your contacts list.

Emoticons. Capture image or video. Image or video from the gallery. Record audio. Share location. SMS messages are limited to 160 characters. Longer messages can be written and they will be sent as a single message, however, for billing purposes your network operator will treat them as several messages (one message per 160 characters). In contrast, there is no limit to the amount of text you can send with an MMS message. Note that if both devices (the sender and receiver) support the RCS standard, the communication turns into an instant messaging service where character limits do not apply. Once the recipient and the text have been entered, and multimedia files have been attached
(if sending an MMS), tap the send SMS icon
. 35 Phone Other options include replying to an existing message or the possibility of choosing the SIM from which you want to send.

This saves you time given as you dont need to go into the menu item in search of important information. In each sub menu there is an Advanced options section containing a drop-down menu of the lesser-used options. 37 Settings Network and internet WI-FI From this menu, you can access the following settings: Wi-Fi, Mobile network, Data usage, Wi-Fi hotspot/ Tethering, VPN and Aeroplane mode. If Wi-Fi is disabled, move the selector to the right. Your device will automatically search for available Wi-Fi networks. These are displayed in a list that refreshes automatically. Tap the name of the network you want to connect to, enter the password if necessary and tap Connect. If it connects successfully, Connected will appear below the name of the network. There is a time limit for entering the Wi-Fi password, after which the Wi-Fi will be disabled. We recommend marking the Show password checkbox before entering the password so that it can be written quickly and correctly. When Wi-Fi is enabled, the device will automatically connect to the chosen network. Your smartphone will notify you when it detects a network that you have never configured. To access the options for Wi-Fi support, Install certificates, Wi-Fi Direct, WPS push button and WPS PIN entry for the Wi-Fi network, tap Settings > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi preferences and select the Advanced settings WPS-PIN. You can continue entering your access password manually, however, the router may allow you to connect to your Wi-Fi network more conveniently and just as securely. Do this by synchronising your smartphone wirelessly with the router via Menu > WPS PIN and pressing the WPS PIN physical button on the router. MOBILE NETWORK Access the settings for both SIM cards where you can enable data roaming, select the preferred network type, set up the APN and select a network operator. Note that your device is Dual SIM Dual Standby, meaning that you cannot enable data on both SIM cards at the same time. However, it is possible to switch between the two while the device is turned on. DATA USAGE In this section, you can view an applications data-transfer statistics for Wi-Fi or mobile data. Additionally, in the section that corresponds to your SIM card you can enable or disable mobile data, see the amount of data you have used and see the data usage of resources and applications. 38 This option enables you to configure a virtual private network. AEROPLANE MODE Selecting this option will disable all wireless connections.

NFC 40 Settings Apps and notifications The settings relating to notifications and apps permissions are located here. Enhanced hierarchical organisation of your notifications. The notifications are not shown in order of arrival, instead, each type of notification now has its own space. Notifications are grouped into four categories, being ordered from greater or lesser importance and differentiated by colour and height. The categories are Ongoing notifications
(call, timer, music, navigation prompts, etc...), Person to person (messages or missed calls), General notifications (reminders, events, updates, etc...) ) and By the way (with less relevant notifications such as time, traffic, promotions, suggestions, etc ...). Replying to a message received through a messaging app can be done right from the notification. We recommend going to Settings > Apps and notifications > Notifications. From this menu, you will be able to personalise all the app notifications individually. This feature depends on the developer of each app, which means it could have more or fewer personalisation options. POSTPONE INDIVIDUAL NOTIFICATIONS If you get a notification that you cant deal with at the time, you can now swipe the app to the right and, before discarding the notification, a clock will appear enabling you to postpone the notification so that you receive it again in an hour, or you can personalise the interval to 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 2 hours later. This feature is available for any individual notification that appears:
41 Settings CHANNELS AND NOTIFICATION CATEGORIES The new notification channels enable us to personalise the type of notifications that are shown by each app. NOTIFICATION DOTS Previously, Android only allowed us to block all notifications generated by an app, but now we can select which ones we want to see and those we dont for each app using the system settings, without having to go the the settings of the app itself. This means that the notifications can be separated into categories depending on their content and the users interests. Enable and disable notifications for each app and select how you prefer to be notified (for example, by vibrating and showing the lock screen. Whats more, within each app, you can assign different levels of importance (urgent, high, medium and low) to different notification categories. This can be done via Settings > Apps and notifications > Notifications > App notifications, then tap the app you want to personalise. A dot will appear on the app icons when there is a new notification. This is enabled by default so, if you dont like it, you can disable it via Settings > Apps and notifications > Notifications
> Allow notification badge. On long-pressing on the icon, the available shortcuts and a summary of the pending notifications will appear. The widgets and app information have been incorporated into these shortcuts. For example, you can create a reminder or event by long-pressing on Google Calendar or you can access the last email you received. Tapping elsewhere on the screen will make the shortcuts menu disappear. An app shortcut can be added to the Home screen by long-
pressing and then dragging it to the desired position 42 Settings BACKGROUND COLOURS QUICK SETTINGS Ongoing notifications appear with a coloured background, which adapts to multimedia content (for example, to the album cover). The notifications and quick settings continue to be integrated into one screen. To view the notifications, pull the bar down with one finger. Dismiss them all at once by tapping Clear all, or swipe them to the side one by one. The quick settings are still accessed via the notifications bar, whereas the Power off/Lock/Sync settings have been removed and are now accessed via the specific menus and buttons. Access to the advanced menus has been added in Android Oreo via the quick settings. All you need to do is long-press the selected quick settings and you will be taken to the rest of the options. Battery The battery control options can be accessed via this menu. The main options include a graph showing the battery percentage remaining in real time, and other information, such as the date and time that it was last fully charged. By pressing the icon and then Battery usage, we will access a more detailed consumption graph.
