The Basics

DragTouch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your
finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position.
For example, you can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe, slide, or flickMove 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 Home screens by
swiping left and right, slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list,
or remove an app from the Recent apps screen by flicking its graphic off
the screen.
Double-tapTap 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 screen on or off.
NOTE Certain Accessibility features (such as Touch zoom) use a triple-tap gesture to zoom
or activate functions. A triple-tap will also create a new event in the Calendar app.
Multi-touchUse 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, and in lists (e.g., Contacts, Groups, and the
Messaging 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 affects the Home screen. Spread apart on the Home
screen to hide all of your Home screen items, then pinch in to redisplay
them.
Rotate the screenFrom many apps and menus, the orientation of the
screen adjusts to the phone’s physical orientation by rotating the screen.
You can deactivate this function in the Display settings menu.
