Snip & Sketch, new in the May 2019 Update, lets you capture

areas of the screen as graphics (screenshots); see “Settings”.

Mobile hotspot. Tethering means using your cellularly equipped
tablet or phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot—an internet antenna—so other

devices nearby can get online. This tile, if you have it, serves as the
on/off switch; see “Sharing a Cellular Connection”.

Brightness. Screen brightness is the single biggest eater of battery
power, so this is a quick and easy way to adjust the degree of
battery drain. New in the May 2019 Update: It’s a slider, not a

“click repeatedly to jump among brightness levels” tile. Much
better.

(the notifications at top, the on/off tiles at bottom), the upper part is

the one you’ll probably check more often. These messages come in
all the time.
