Touchpad Operation
Using the Touchpad
When DeX is connected, a touchpad icon appears in the bottom left corner. (If you’ve switched to gesture navigation, you can access it from the status bar.)
In the screen below, you can use your smartphone as a touchpad to control DeX.

Making the Most of the Touchpad
Navigating Between App Screens
Select the top of the app screen, press and hold on the trackpad for 1 second, then drag to move it freely. Depending on your phone model, you may also be able to move it using two fingers simultaneously.
Resizing App Screens
Select the bottom or side of the app screen and drag to adjust the size. Diagonal resizing is not supported, so increase the size in steps.
Zooming In
Zoom in on the screen in the same way you would on a regular smartphone. Touch the screen with two fingers simultaneously and spread them apart.
