Drag
Flick
Press and hold your finger with some pressure before
you start to drag. While dragging, don't release your
finger until you have reached the target position.
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except
that you need to swipe your finger in light,
quicker strokes, such as when moving right
and left on the Home screen, or flicking
through a contacts or message list.
