TIL In Google Maps on mobile, you can tilt the view angle by moving two fingers up or down

I knew the tilt functionally had been there forever on Desktop, but no idea the gesture existed on the mobile App...

Things I've only ever done accidentally and panicked trying to fix

Haha. Same here. And for the longest time I couldn’t fix it. Then once I fixed it, I couldn’t figure out how to get it back since it did seem very useful.

I wish we would go back to the days of detailed manuals. I get they can’t be printed, but having an online master doc that contained all the features of a product would be amazing instead of finding through social media.

You can also double tap with a finger then scroll it up and down to zoom in and out. Works on Apple Maps too.

Do the fingers have to be on the screen when I do that?
