  1. I downloaded the Bing app for my iPad2 but I don’t see a camera icon anywhere. How do I find it?

    • Judy,

      When you first start Bing, you will see the white bar to the right of the word Bing at the top. Inside this white rectangle, the camera icon is placed next to another icon that looks like an old-fashioned microphone.

      Cheers,
      Stephen

    • I have thought of something else, if you still cannot find it, try downloading the Bing application for the iPhone. As it will also work on the iPad 2 (I just tried), this may explain the discrepancy.
