Discover in this article more practical features of the HUAWEI Notepad.
Add reminders
for your to-dos
Ever worried you will forget something important? Well, there’s no need to lose sleep over it! With Notepad, you can create your own to-do list and set a reminder for every task.
On your home screen, find and open the Notepad App > To-dos, tap 
to add a new task and touch 
to set the date and time for the reminder. If you would like to add a reminder for a task that you have previously created, simply select it and touch ‘Add a reminder’.
Organise your notes for a better efficiency
Finding a specific note or task can be quite difficult if searching through an endless list. Try dividing your notes and to-dos into different categories, such as work, chores, recommended films, must-reads or favourite quotes – notes in different categories will be shown in different colours so as to help you search more easily.
To do this, open one of your notes or to-dos, touch the category icon 
under the title, and select a category. Tap NEW to add and name a new category.
Tap the arrow to see the next step
Alternatively, on the All notes / All to-dos screen, swipe left on a single item, or long press multiple ones to tick them, and then tap 
or 
to Move them to a category.

Restore deleted notes
If you have accidentally deleted a note or a to-do task, tap
