I mentioned elsewhere that the number of swipe gestures in iOS was getting out of hand. Here’s a list of gestures I regularly use on my iPhone 12 mini. iPadOS adds even more multitouch gestures. Note: I have Safari show the address bar on the bottom, which adds a few handy gestures. It’s getting hard to keep all of these straight though!
iOS
- the basics: left, right, top, down to pan and switch pages, pinch to zoom
- horizontal along bottom edge to switch apps
- down from top right edge for quick settings
- down from top left for notifications
- right from (first) Home Screen to see widgets
- short inward from bottom to go back to home
- long inward from bottom to see task switcher
- upward on app in task switcher to close app
- down from center of Home Screen to bring up search
- left on lock screen notifications for options
- left on lock screen to activate camera
- right on lock screen to show widgets
- up from center of lock screen to reveal past hidden notifications (iOS16)
Safari (with address bar at bottom)
- up from the address bar to bring up tab switcher
- short pinch on page to bring up tab switcher
- left on tab in switcher to close tab
- left or right on address bar to switch tabs or open a new tab
- in from left edge to navigate back
- in from right edge to navigate forward
- down from center of page to refresh
Did I miss any?
