What's on My Phone?

Hello, Lovelies

Almost everyone in this day and age has a phone. It may not be the latest iPhone or even a smartphone (I'm looking at you, Dad. Also known as: the guy with the flip phone). But hey, it gets the job done.

Along with the greatness a phone brings of being able to contact people from (almost) anywhere, there are also many ways to personalize a cell phone. From apps downloaded to the background photo, to ringtones, you get to choose it all. It can all be very exciting and liberating to have that this-my-phone-and-I-am-in-control-of-this-if-nothing-else feeling. It's great. Really.

With that said, I am going to show you, my readers, just what is on my phone and how I have marked it as my own. Let's get started, yes?

I have the Maxx Droid from Motorola. I got it July 19, 2014 and will have it until at least July of 2016 when I can upgrade.

This is what the front of my phone looks like when I'm not using it. The screen is black, but flashes the time when it detects motion (like when you pick it up). There is also the option of opening it with the lock on the touchscreen. If I have any notifications, they also show up here. I can check them without opening my phone.

 Once open, the lock screen is shown. This screen has the time, date, and alarm (if it is set). The battery, service, wifi, alarm, and notifs are seen at the top. 

Once the correct password is entered, the home screen pops up. Here you see my background set to a tree with fall leaves, a clock, Google search at the top. Starting at the left, I have a folder labeled tools which came with the phone. Help, Voice Mail, My Verizon, Maps, Calculator, Mobile Hot Spot, Calendar, and Settings shortcuts are found here. Then I have the Google Play Store, Google app, and the recently reinstalled Blogger app. The phone, contacts, text messager, and camera are at the bottom and show on all screens. The middle circle takes you to all the apps and widgets on my phone such as Heads Up and Gmail.

Sliding left, I have a shortcut to Google Keep where I keep the grocery list among other lists and writings. Sliding right, I have the apps for Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Pinterest, Gallery (photos), Goodreads, a folder for books, and the Spotify app. These are my most used apps.

My phone case is just a plain purple. Lately I have been keeping business cards for my photography in the back. I have also been known for keeping money and photos in the back for safe keeping. Well, kind of safe. Safe until I can't find my phone. 

Another way I personalized my phone is setting contact photos as random photos in my phone such as waffles or sunsets or flowers. I have my old high school set as a yawning cat. Get it? Because school's boring. 

Anyway, that is what is currently on my phone. I hope this post wasn't too boring for you. Talk later.
