Basics: Getting Around Your Phone
®
Move Around Your Phone's Menus
and Screens Using Gestures
Your phone's touchscreen lets you control
everything through various types of
touches, or gestures.
Tap: When you want to press onscreen
buttons, select items such as application
and settings icons, or type, simply tap the
screen with your finger. A light tap
works best.
Touch and hold: To open the available
options for an item (for example, options for
a contact), simply touch and hold the item.
Drag: To scroll through a list or move slowly,
drag across the touchscreen horizontally or
vertically. For example, tap Contacts and
then drag the list up or down.

Swipe or slide: To swipe or slide, quickly
move your finger across the surface of the
screen, without pausing when you first
touch it (so you don't drag an item instead).
For example, you can slide the screen up or
down to scroll through a list, or browse
through the different Home screens by
swiping from left to right (and vice versa).
Pinch-to-Zoom: "Pinch" the screen using
your thumb and forefinger to zoom out or
zoom in when viewing a picture or a Web
page. (Move fingers inward to zoom out and
outward to zoom in.) You can also double-
touch the screen to zoom in and then
double-touch again to zoom out.
