Steps
- 1Once the phone has been activated we will see the lock screen.To begin, turn the phone on by pressing the power button located on top of the phone.
- 2Once the phone has been unlocked we will see the home screen, and at the bottom we will see 5 icons. We now need to open the application folder.To unlock the phone, swipe the screen up.
- 3There is a grid of white dots. This is the icon for the applications folder.We can do that by tapping the icon in the middle, at the bottom of the screen.
- 4There is an icon of a blue piece of paper and underneath are the words "Play Newsstand". Your application may be in a different location, so look for the icon in your folder. Once the app opens, we need to go to the "Read now" section so we can show how the different topics are arranged.Now that the folder has been opened, we need to find and tap the Play Newsstand application.
- 5There are 3 horizontal lines.Tap the menu icon in the top left-hand corner to open the menu.
- 6This will show all of the different topics.Tap "Read now".
- 7We are currently in "BUSINESS", indicated by the white text. Next to it is "ENTERTAINMENT" and "NEWS". We can edit and customize all of these. We can remove any of these categories or rearrange them into a different order.We can scroll right or left to view the different topics at the top.
- 8To do that, we need to tap the menu icon in the top left-hand corner again to open the menu.
- 9Tap on "My Library".
- 10Press down on "TOPICS" at the top, beside "NEWS".

- 12We are going to swap the "Business" card for the "Entertainment" card by pressing and holding down on the "Business" card.
- 13Now we can see that those two cards have switched positions. Another thing we can do is remove cards. We have two "News" cards, so we're going to remove one.Drag it to the preferred position and let it go.
- 14Every card has that icon. This will open up the menu.To do that, we're going to tap the 3 vertical dots in the bottom right-hand corner of the card.
- 15We can "Download", "Move to top", "Share" or "Remove topic"; we want to tap on "Remove topic".
- 16Now at the bottom it says, "Removed News" and we can undo it if we want.
- 17Underneath it says, "MORE".If we want to add more topic cards, we can tap on the circle with the plus sign in it.
