Samsung Galaxy the Complete Manual 14th Edition

The apps Contacts

Set up groups

Once you have all your contacts in place, you might want to set up

some groups (Fig 3). This represents a great way of keeping people

you deal with in a particular way together. Perhaps you have a

special group of friends or a family group, or maybe a set of work

colleagues that you like to group together. Doing this is easy with

your Galaxy device, which comes with a number of groups set up

already, and also gives you the facility through which to create even

more groups quickly and easily. Simply hit the Menu key from the

Groups page, select Create, give your group a name and a specifi c

ringtone or vibration pattern if desired, and fi nally tap Add member

at the bottom of the page. From there you can simply select the

people you wish to add and then hit Done at the top-right.
