Making Powerful Interaction Gestures Discoverable on Mobile Devices

Designing mobile interfaces involves addressing the challenge of making powerful swipe gestures and other quick actions discoverable to users. While these gestures enable faster interactions, their visibility and learnability remain a key issue. The current solution employed is to provide visible alternatives for actions that can also be done through gestures, ensuring that essential functionalities are accessible to all users. Designers should aim to subtly hint at the existence of power user gestures to onboard all users into efficient interaction methods, similar to how right-click menus or keyboard shortcuts are introduced.
