Touch screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the on-screen keyboard.
•
Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by tapping 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. You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing
•
when you first tap 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).
Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a
•
webpage to adjust that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out while
viewing the picture.
Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading motion to zoom in or out when
•
using the browser or Maps, or when browsing pictures.
Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation of the screen adjusts to the device's
•
physical orientation.
NOTE:
To select an item, tap the center of the icon.
•
Do not press too hard; the tap screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet firm tap.
•
Use the tip of your finger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap any other
•
keys.
