resources unnecessarily.

Touch screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
Touch or tap – 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 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. 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 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).
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 when viewing a picture and when using Maps.
Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading motion to
zoom in or out when using the browser, Maps or when viewing pictures.
Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation of the screen
adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
