  1. Tap the
    Contacts
    tab.
  2. Select the desired contact.
    Locate the contact by scrolling through the list of contacts, or perform a search by selecting the magnifying glass icon. After selecting the magnifying glass icon, begin entering the contact name. As each letter is entered, the relevant matches are displayed in the contact list. Keep entering until a match is found. The contact search string is a “sticky” search, meaning that the letters entered remain in the search field until cleared. Entering a string without a match will cause no contacts to be displayed. Clear the search string to review all contacts.
