Windows Phone Basics: Getting Around
Move Around Your Phone's Menus
and Screens
Your phone's touchscreen lets you control everything
through various types of touches, or gestures.
Touch: To select items such as Start screen tiles,
apps, or settings, press onscreen buttons, or type
using the onscreen keyboard, touch lightly with
your finger.
Touch and hold: To display the available options
for an item (for example, a link in a Web page),
touch and hold the item.
Swipe or slide: To swipe or slide (for example, to
clear the lock screen), quickly drag your finger
vertically or horizontally across the screen.
Drag: To drag an item (for example, to move a
Start screen tile), press and hold your finger with
some pressure before you start to move it.

Flick: Flicking is similar to swiping, but with
lighter, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is
always used in a vertical motion, such as when
flicking through contacts or a message list.
Pinch: "Pinch" the screen using your thumb and
forefinger to zoom out or zoom in when viewing
a photo or a Web page. (Move fingers inward to
zoom out and outward to zoom in.)
Rotate: Change the screen orientation from
portrait to landscape by turning the phone
sideways. When entering text, you can turn
the phone sideways to bring up a bigger
onscreen keyboard.
