The TimescapeTM application manages all your communication with one person in one place. You can

photos. Now everything is all together and in chronological order, so you don't have to open different
applications to see what's going on.

person. For example, when viewing a text message from a friend in TimescapeTM, tap the infinite button to

stored. For example, you can select MTP mode to transfer files if you want to limit the risk of data corrup-
tion or select MSC mode if you want to have more control over the data storage.
