long press
Sustained screen contact
A long press is a touchscreen or button interaction where you hold your finger down for an extended moment rather than tapping quickly.
On smartphones, a long press typically reveals additional options or activates a secondary function: Long press the app icon to see quick actions.
The gesture emerged with touchscreen interfaces to compensate for the lack of a right-click.
