Slide aside

Use three-finger swipe to save running apps to the left or bring them back to the display. To bring them back later, some apps may restart. You can save up to three apps.

1

While an application is open, place three fingers on the screen and slide to the left.

The current screen is saved and the Home screen appears.

2

To re-open the saved apps, place three fingers on the screen and slide to the right.

Tap the desired app you want to open.

28

Tip! The Slide Aside feature does not recognize fewer fingers, additional fingers, or your palm.

Tap or touch

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.

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 webpage or a map. For example, quickly doubletap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out after taking a picture

(using the Camera), and when using Maps. Double-tap a word to highlight it.

Double-tap can also activate the KnockON feature to turn the touchscreen on or off.
