The popularity and widespread use of mobile devices has witnessed a prominent pattern of learned user behaviors arise. To deliver an optimized user experience, mobile devices need to respond to these instinctual user behaviors.

For tablets, the Marfeel solution provides the following two methods of closing an article, that have become common-place among tablet usage patterns:

  • Vertical Swipe Down
  • Pinch.

Vertical swipe down

In a tablet, the vertical swipe down closes the article details the user is viewing and returns them to the sections mosaic. 

This behavior is only applicable for article details.

Pinch

On a tablet, a pinch also closes the article and navigates the user back to the sections mosaic.
