CORTANA
Getting started with Cortana
Cortana is your personal assistant on your Windows Phone, ready to help you with all kinds of tasks and keep you up to date with the things that interest you.
Before you can get all the goodies Cortana has to offer, you'll need to make sure she's switched on, and learn where to find her. If you like, you can help her get to know you a little better, too.
Is Cortana on?
You may have turned on Cortana when you set up your phone. If you did, you'll see her when you press the Search Search icon button.
If you press the Search Search icon button and see the Bing image of the day, that means Cortana isn't on. To turn on Cortana, in the App list, tap Settings Settings Tile, swipe over to Applications, tap Cortana, then turn on Cortana Toggle On icon.
If you turn on Cortana, for her to work for you, Microsoft collects and uses your location, contacts, voice input, info from email and text messages, browser history, search history, calendar details and other info.

Introduce yourself to Cortana
To set up Cortana for the first time, you can either tap the Tile on the Start screen or press the Search Search icon button. She'll ask if you mind answering a few questions – this will help her understand what's important to you and what information she should bring to your attention. You can also tell her what name you want her to call you, and make sure she pronounces it correctly. Cortana sends speech data to Microsoft to improve personalised speech and speech recognition. You don't have to use a name for Cortana to work, but if you do, you can use any name you want.
If you prefer not to answer, it's perfectly fine to skip. You can just tell Cortana what you'd like her to know as you go.
