Getting Around Your Phone
Using the Touch Screen
Your phone’s touch screen lets you control actions through a variety of touch gestures.
• Touch
When you want to type using the onscreen keyboard, select items onscreen such as
application and settings icons, or press onscreen buttons, simply touch them with your
finger.
• Touch and Hold
To open the available options for an item (for example, a message or link in a Web
page), touch and hold the item.
• Swipe or Slide
To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the
screen.
• Drag
To drag, press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to move your
finger. While dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target
position.
• Pinch
In some apps (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery), you can zoom in and out by
placing two fingers on the screen at once and pinching them together (to zoom out) or
spreading them apart (to zoom in).
• Rotate the screen
For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from portrait to
landscape by turning the phone sideways.
