The Basics

Swipe, slide, or flick

Move your finger quickly 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 browse through the different Home
screens by swiping from left to right (and vise versa), slide the screen up
or down to scroll a list, or remove an app from the Recent apps screen by
flicking its graphic off the screen.

Double-tap

Tap the screen twice quickly to zoom, highlight text, or turn

the screen on/off. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a web
page to zoom that section to fit the width of the screen and control the
zoom in Maps and in other apps. Double-tap a word to highlight it.
Double-tap can also activate the KnockON feature to turn the touchscreen
on or off.

NOTE

The Accessibility Settings shortcuts and Touch zoom accessibility features use a

triple-tap. A double-tap also activates a new event in the Calendar app.

Pinch-to-zoom

Use your index finger and thumb in a pinch motion (to

zoom out) or spread motion (to zoom in) when using Chrome, a map,
photos, the rear camera lens, the Contacts list, the Favorites list, the
Groups list, the Messaging list, and a music list. Spread apart to make
screen information larger (easier to see and read), or pinch together to
view more area and information. The pinch gesture also changes the
Home screen. Pinch in on the Home screen to change to mini panel view,
then spread apart to return to the normal Home screen view. Spread apart
on the normal Home screen to hide all of your Home screen items, then
pinch in to redisplay them.
