USING THE TOUCH SCREEN
Your phone’s touch screen lets you control actions through a variety of touch
gestures.
• Tap – When you want to type using the on-screen keyboard, select on-
screen items (such as application and settings icons), or press on-screen
buttons, simply tap them with your finger.
• Press and Hold – To open the available options for an item (for example, a
message or a link in a web page), press and hold the item.
• Swipe or Slide – To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger
vertically or horizontally across the screen.
• Drag – To drag, press and hold your finger with some pressure before you
start to move your finger. While dragging, do not release your finger until
you have reached the target position.
• Pinch – In some apps (such as Maps, Web Browser, and Gallery), you can
zoom in and out by placing two fingers on the screen at once and pinching
them together (to zoom out) or spreading them apart (to zoom in).
• Rotate the Screen – For most screens, you can automatically change
the screen orientation from portrait to landscape by turning the phone
sideways.
