Search your own device
Find an app, a setting or a person without hunting through screens.
Your phone and your computer each have a search box that looks at what is on them: apps, files, contacts, settings.
It never goes out to the internet, so it finds the setting whose name you cannot recall.
Key points
- Your phone and computer can search what is on them, not the web
- They find apps, files, contacts and settings by name
What to remember
- The device search finds a setting faster than Settings does.
- One box searches the world. The other searches your desk.
Try this
Swipe down on your phone’s home screen and type the name of an app you rarely use.
