Basics: Getting Around Your Phone
Move Around Your Phones Menus

Your phone’s touchscreen lets you control
everything through various types of
touches, or gestures.
Tap: When you want to press onscreen
buttons, select items such as application

Touch and hold: To open the available
options for an item (for example, options for
a contact), simply touch and hold the item.
Drag: To scroll through a list or move slowly,
drag across the touchscreen horizontally or
vertically. For example, tap Contacts and
then drag the list up or down.
Swipe or slide: To swipe or slide, quickly
move your inger across the surface of the

touch it (so you don’t drag an item instead).
For example, you can slide the screen up or
down to scroll through a list, or browse
through the dierent Home screens by
swiping from left to right (and vice versa).
Pinch-to-Zoom: “Pinch” the screen using
your thumb and foreinger to zoom out or
zoom in when viewing a picture or a Web
page. (Move ingers inward to zoom out and
outward to zoom in.) You can also double-
touch the screen to zoom in and then
double-touch again to zoom out.
