that letter. Drag your finger along the index to scroll quickly through the list.
mTap an item in the list to choose it. Depending on the list, tapping an item can do
different things—for example, it may open a new list, play a song, open an email,
or show someone’s contact information so you can call that person.
mThe back button in the upper-left corner shows the name of the previous list. Tap it to
go back.
mWhen viewing photos, web pages, email, or maps, you can zoom in and out. Pinch your
fingers together or apart. For photos and web pages, you can double-tap (tap twice
quickly) to zoom in, then double-tap again to zoom out. For maps, double-tap to zoom
in and tap once with two fingers to zoom out.
