- and
- to perform a different function based at least in part on a release of the input.
A method comprising:
- obtaining, at an electronic device, an input via a display unit operatively coupled with the electronic device;
- performing a function of an application based at least in part on a movement of the input;
- and
- performing a different function based at least in part on a release of the input.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory operatively coupled with the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus:
- to obtain an input via a display unit operatively coupled with the processor;
- to perform a function of an application based at least in part on a movement of the input;
