Select

Use select when describing interactions in mobile apps that run on BlackBerry smartphones. BlackBerry smartphones can have a touchscreen, trackball, or trackpad as the input mechanism, so tap or click is incorrect for some devices. Example: Press the menu key, then select Save.

When you describe gestures users perform in a mobile app that only runs on a touchscreen device, like an iPhone or Android tablet, use tap. It’s OK to use select instead of tap for tap events after the first event in a sequence if it makes the content easier to use. Examples:

• Tap the date selector to open the date selection popup.
• Scroll through the dials to select the desired date.
