Touch & type
To select or activate something, touch it.
To type something, such as a name, password, or search terms, just touch where you want to type. A keyboard pops
up that lets you type into the field.
Other common gestures include:
Touch & hold.
Touch & hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger until it responds.
For example, this is how you access accent and other special characters on the keyboard.
Touch, hold & drag.
Touch & 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 move apps around on the Home screen.
Swipe or slide.

touch (so you don’t drag something instead). For example, you can slide a Home screen left of right to view
the other Home screens.

Tap quickly twice on a webpage, map, or other screen to zoom. For example, double-tap a picture
in Chrome to zoom in, and double-tap again to zoom out.

Settings. To do the same thing on a device, go to
Settings > Device > Display
