Touchscreen gestures
Touchscreen smartphones allow a variety of operations to be performed by users,
both single and multitouch. Multitouch gestures refer to touchscreen input that uses
two or more fingers at a time. The following is a list of the most common touch-based
operations available with Apple, Android, and Windows Phone devices.
Single-tap
Touch the screen with one finger, once. This is the fundamental operation required to
type text messages and notes, and to launch applications.
Double-tap
Tap the screen twice, with one finger. This is usually done to select a piece of text to
edit it.
