Monitoring your phone’s status
The Status bar appears at the top of every screen. It displays icons indicating that
you’ve received notifications (on the left) and icons indicating the phone’s status (on
the right), along with the current time.
If you have more notifications than can fit in the status bar, a plus icon prompts
you to open the Notifications panel to view them all. See “Managing notifications” on
page 30.
Status icons
The following icons indicate the status of your phone. To learn more about the
different kinds of mobile networks, see “Connecting to networks and devices” on
page 57.
Network status icons turn green if you have a Google Account added to your phone
and the phone is connected to Google services, for syncing your Gmail, Calendar
events, contacts, for backing up your settings, and so on. If you don’t have a Google
Account or if, for example, you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network that is not connected
to the Internet, the network icons are white.
