   We're looking for the white cog icon on the top right-hand corner of the screen

   Underneath that, there are the words "WIRELESS & NETWORKS" in the gray bar

   .

   This is the section we want to be in. We're looking for the "Bluetooth" option. It's currently turned off. Underneath it says the word "Off", and to the right, it also says "Off". Press down on the word "Bluetooth", and it will open up our Bluetooth menu. We don't need to turn Bluetooth on to look at the files we've received via Bluetooth, and it's important we know that. It's OK if it's turned off.

   We want to select the third option from the top, which is "Show received files"

   .

   This is a very useful function because it allows us to view all of the files that we have received via Bluetooth. It helps us to find things that we might be searching for, as well. Press down on this option, and it's going to show us two items that we have received via Bluetooth.

   To view any of these files, just press down on them, and it will ask us if we want to open them

   .

   These are photos or jpg, and that's why it's asking us to open this file with the gallery. If these were written files, PDFs, Word documents or written documents, then they'll ask us to use a different application to open them.

    We're going to open this with the Gallery because it's a photo
