Android Basics: Getting Around Your Phone

Move Around Your Phone’s Menus and Screens Using Gestures

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 and settings icons, or type, simply tap the screen with your finger. A light tap

works best.

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 finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when you first 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 different Home screens by swiping from left to right (and vice versa).

Pinch-to-Zoom: “Pinch” the screen using your thumb and forefinger to zoom out or zoom in when viewing a picture or a Web page. (Move fingers inward to zoom out and outward to zoom in.) You can also doubletouch the screen to zoom in and then double-touch again to zoom out.
