What is swiping?

Swiping refers to the act of moving one's finger across a touchscreen in a particular direction, typically to navigate through screens or pages, launch apps, or perform specific actions within an app or interface. It is a common interaction method used on smartphones, tablets, and other touchscreen devices.

Swiping is often used to scroll through content, such as web pages, social media feeds, or emails. Users can swipe up, down, left, or right to move through the content. Swiping can also be used to dismiss notifications, reveal hidden menus or options, or interact with elements on the screen.

Swiping gestures are typically intuitive and easy to use, making them a popular choice for touchscreen interfaces. App developers and designers often incorporate swiping gestures into their apps to enhance user experience and make navigation more fluid and efficient.
