social_start_group_people

Start

Pin any group or person to your Start screen and keep them even closer at hand. You can pin pretty much everything to the Start screen. Just hold your finger on an app or tool until a menu with “Pin to start” appears.

Groups

The group “Family” is predefined in the People Hub to get you going.

Based on the names of those contacts you add, it will offer suggestions for people with matching or similar names.

But with any group, you can pin it to the start screen. It will become a live tile where you can see profile photos, missed calls and status updates from anyone in that group.

And if you want to keep people separate, you can also add a specific ringtone to a person or a group. Just tap their profile, hit the Pencil icon to edit and add a ringtone. Simple.

People Hub

Choose the contact you want to see in the What’s New section. Whether it’s the latest Tweets or what’s happening on Facebook, it’s up to you.

You can filter your People by accounts too. Just tap the bottom of the screen, open “Settings” and filter your contact list by the email or social media account you want to see updates from.

Contacts Transfer App

Preinstalled in the menu is an app that lets you quickly transfer contacts from your old phone to your new Nokia Lumia through Bluetooth. Just open and follow the onscreen instructions.

social_capture

Capture the amazing

Taking pictures is as simple as holding the camera key. There’s no need to unlock the phone to put the camera to good use.

Once you’ve snapped it, quickly share to Facebook or another network too.

And rest easy knowing that a Carl Zeiss lens, 8MP, auto focus, and true 16:9 wide-angle capture, will make every picture you take super sharp and super detailed.

Voice activation

Hold the Windows key to activate voice recognition. You can make a call, check your calendar, dictate a text or even search online. 

social_multitask_profile

Multitasking

Hold the back arrow to see what applications are running at the same time.

Profile

Nokia with Windows Phone automatically links to Facebook and uses your default profile picture. You can quickly change this though by tapping Profile to choose a new one.
