Touchscreen Navigation
Your phone’s touchscreen lets you control actions through a variety of touch gestures.
Important: When the TalkBack option in the Accessibility settings is turned on and the
Explore by touch setting is selected, the regular touch gestures are replaced by
the TalkBack gestures. For details, see Navigate Your Phone with TalkBack.
Touch
Touch the screen with your finger when you want to select onscreen items such as application
and settings icons, or press onscreen buttons.
After you’ve scrolled down a long list or screen (in apps such as Mail and People), touch the
status bar to jump straight to the top of your screen.
Touch and Hold
To open the available options for an item (for example, a contact or link in a Web page), touch
and hold the item.
