[phillynews215]

Google has continuously improved Android for large-screen devices like foldable phones and tablets. With the launch of Android 12L, the company started optimizing its apps for foldable phones and tablets. Android 15 improves the experience of using keyboard and trackpad accessories with tablets.

Android 15 (One UI 7.0) could bring tap and drag gestures for tablets with keyboard and trackpad accessory

Thanks to DeX and first-party keyboard accessories, Samsung's high-end tablets can feel like desktop computers. With Android 15 (One UI 7.0), you may be able to use more trackpad gestures to get things done. According to a report from Android Authority, Google has added a new gesture called Tap Dragging, and it makes dragging and dropping items easier.



This feature, introduced for tablets running Android 14 QPR3 (June 2024), lets you drag and drop items. You can tap an item and drag it using your finger. You can already do this by tapping an item, keep holding the trackpad, and then moving your finger to move items. However, the new Tap Dragging option is easier to use.

For this new feature to work, you need a keyboard that has a compatible trackpad that supports gestures.



With Android 14, Google introduced three new gestures:

1. Three-Finger Tap: Go back.
2. Three-Finger Swipe Up: Go home.
3. Three-Finger Swipe Up & Hold: Open the multitasking menu.

Since Galaxy Tab devices have great first-party keyboard accessories with a trackpad, you can use the Tap Dragging gesture to move files and items from one place to another.
