Basic gestures

Gestures are what you'll use to interact with your device's touchscreen. For instance, instead of clicking something with your mouse, you'll tap the screen with your finger. We'll refer to gestures throughout this tutorial, so make sure you're familiar with the examples below.

• Tap to "click", select, or open something on your device, like a button or an app
• Tap and hold to occasionally access other options (think of this as "right-clicking")
• Drag to scroll up and down, left and right, or any other direction on the screen
• Swipe left or right to "flip through" things, like pages on the Home screen, photos, or pages in an e-book
• Double-tap to zoom in or out in certain apps, like Maps.
• Pinch (i.e., open or close your thumb and forefinger) to zoom in or out almost anywhere
