The following terms are used for describing the different available actions
using the touchscreen:
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, as described
in Change the Phone's Wallpaper, or drag the Notifications Panel open, as
described in Notifications Panel.
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 web page or a map. For example,
quickly double-tap a section of a web page to adjust that section to fit
the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out
when taking a picture (using the Camera), and when using Maps.
