Touch screen tips

Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.

The Basics

Touch or tap

– A single ﬁnger tap selects items, links, shortcuts, and letters

on the on-screen keyboard.

NOTES • To select an item, tap the center of the icon.

• Don't press too hard on the touchscreen. It's sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet

Touch and hold

ﬁrm tap.

• Use the tip of your ﬁnger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap any other

keys.

– Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your ﬁnger until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact's available options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the Context menu opens.

Drag

– Touch and 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 drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.

Swipe, slide, or ﬂick

– Move your ﬁnger quickly 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 browse through the different Home screens by swiping to the left or right, slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or remove an application from the Recent Apps screen by ﬂicking its graphic off the screen.

Double-tap

– Tap the screen twice quickly to zoom, highlight text, or turn the screen off. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to ﬁt the width of the screen and zoom in and out when viewing a picture and when using Maps. Double-tap a word to highlight it. Double-tap on the Lock screen, the Status Bar, or an empty spot on the Home screen to turn the screen off.

Pinch-to-zoom

– Use your index ﬁnger and thumb in a pinching motion (to zoom out) or spreading motion (to zoom in) when using Chrome, a map, photos, the Contacts list, the Favorites list, and the Groups list. Spread apart to make screen information larger (easier to see and read), or pinch together to view more area and information. The pinch gesture also changes the Home screen. Pinch in on the Home screen to change to mini canvas view, then spread apart to return to the normal Home screen view.
