2019-02-03: These steps and screen shots don't reflect what I see on the screen of my Note 4.
@Ninetrees
I'm sorry for the confusion - this article is showing screenshots from the iOS app. Please check out this article to see these steps and screenshots for Android devices:

I see now that some of the screen shots are different from Droid. There are many places on this web site where the distinction twixt iOS and Droid is not made. I have the impression that this is because it started with iOS, and no one had the foresight to make the distinction clear from day 1. Everywhere such differences exist, the platform (iOS, Droid, desktop, etc.) should be blatantly obvious. When I saved the links to 2 different pages, they both saved with the same name. Should not happen. The whole website should be reviewed, as tedious as that sounds. I renamed them locally to show platform.

I'm sorry this distinction is not made clear. In the future, I recommend double-checking the top-left corner of the article to see what platform it is referring too.
We are discussing possible solutions to reorganize the Help Center.
