   There are currently notifications for the Outlook email service and Viber, and they both have the number 1 beside them. These are notifications that we have added to our lock screen and they tell us how many there are. We can choose to add the WhatsApp application notifications to the home screen as well.

   Now we need to scroll down until we see 5 white squares

   .

   It says, "Choose apps to show quick status". We can only have 5, which is quite limited if we have a lot of applications that we use. We can see it has the Outlook icon in the square on the right, and the Viber logo to the square left of that. We can press down on any of these to change them and also add a new one if we see a white plus symbol.
