swipe gesture
Finger drag action
A swipe gesture is a touchscreen interaction where a finger moves quickly across the display in one direction.
Swiping navigates between screens, dismisses notifications, or reveals hidden menus.
The direction matters: swipe right on dating apps signals interest, swipe left rejects.
The gesture has become so intuitive that swipe now works as a standalone verb beyond touchscreens.
