Summary
Touch gestures let you take complete control of your iPhone, so it's important that you know the basics of all these gestures and the common ways to use them. While not all apps will support every type of touch gesture, most touch gestures can be used interchangeably across different apps. Here is a quick summary of the gestures we went through in this chapter:
- Tap gestures are most often used to select an icon or image, or position the cursor within some text.
- Swipe gestures are most often used to navigate to another screen or slide an item in a list to the left to delete that item.
- Long-press gestures are most often used to display additional information about an icon, image, or word.
- Drag gestures are most often used to move an icon or image, or to select text.
- Pinch gestures are most often used to zoom the screen magnification in or out.
- Rotation gestures are most often used with images to rearrange their orientation.
