Finger gestures

Tap

When you want to type using the keyboard, select items 

onscreen such as application and settings icons, or press 

onscreen buttons, simply tap them with your finger. 

Press and hold

To open the available options for an item (for example, a 

contact or link in a web page), simply 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

Press and hold your finger with some pressure before you 

start to drag. While dragging, do not release your finger 

until you have reached the target position.

Flick

Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you 

need to swipe your finger in light, quicker strokes. This 

finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when 

flicking the contacts or message list.

Rotate

For most screens, you can automatically change the 

screen orientation from portrait to landscape by turning 

the phone sideways. When entering text, you can turn the 

phone sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard.

Pinch

In some apps, like Gallery or the web browser, you can 

“pinch” the screen using two fingers (for example, thumb 

and index finger) to zoom in or zoom out when viewing a 

picture or a web page.
