Enable TalkBack
Explore by Touch
When TalkBack is enabled, you have the option to use the Explore by Touch feature. Explore by Touch allows you to drag your finger slowly over your screen and describes each item that your finger touches. If you slide your finger faster, the device interprets the sliding as a gesture.
TalkBack must be turned on for Explore by Touch to be available. When you turn on TalkBack for the first time, you’ll receive a prompt to turn on Explore by Touch.
 Note | If you chose not to turn on Explore by Touch when you switched on TalkBack, you can turn it on later. Go to , then touch the checkbox next to Explore by touch. You can follow these steps to turn off Explore by Touch at any time. |
Each action that you take with your finger alerts you with spoken feedback, as well as sound (if enabled).
Explore by Touch Gestures
