IPAD GESTURES (AND MULTI-TOUCH OPTIONS) TO WORK FASTER Pinch or Stretch (or Spread) Place two fingers, like your thumb and index finger, on the edges of a map, Web page, almost anything, and then make a pinching motion. Today we will use a Safari as an example of this. Pinching will make the area on the map smaller. Stretching will have the opposite (zooming) effect. So remember Pinching shrinks, Stretching zooms. 2

Instructor Demo: To quickly reveal the multi-tasking bar, use four or five fingers to swipe upward. **Swipe left or right with four or five fingers to switch between recently used apps.
