selection or to answer an on-screen question), or tap letters and
numbers to type.

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

swiping from left to right (and vice versa).
q Double-tap—Double-tap to zoom a web page or a map. For example,
quickly double-tap a section of a web page to zoom in or out on that
section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to

spread motion to zoom in or out when using the Browser, a map, or
