the screen at once. This makes all sorts of useful gestures possible, such as
rotating, pinching, spreading and more. Here’s how they work.
Touch
To activate items such as applications, to use the
on-screen keyboard, or to press on-screen buttons,
touch them with your finger. The touchscreen is sensitive
to the tiny electrical charge in our bodies, so you don’t
need to press hard.
Double-tap
Tap quickly twice on a web page, map, a photograph or
other screen to zoom. Double-tap a section of a web
page in the browser to zoom fit it to the width of the
screen. Double-tapping a piece of on-screen text can
highlight a single word too.
Touch and Hold
You can touch and hold an item on the screen by
placing your finger it and not lifting that finger until an
action occurs. This action depends on what you’re
touching; it could be a menu opening or an icon lifting
off the screen and showing it’s able to be moved.
Swipe or Scroll
Menus and web pages you access on the iPad often
require you to scroll. For example, in Photos, you swipe to
scroll through your pictures. To swipe or slide, quickly move
your finger across the surface of the screen, without
pausing when you first touch it.
