Using the Touch Screen
Your phone’s touch screen lets you control actions through a
variety of touch gestures.
•
Touch or Tap
When you want to type using the onscreen keyboard, select
items, or press onscreen buttons, simply touch them with
your finger.
•
Touch and Hold
To open the available options for an item (for example, a
message or link in a Web page), touch 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 and out Zoom
In some apps (such as Camera, Maps, 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 phone to change from portrait to landscape.
