Jog wheel
If you swipe down with one finger you can move forward by one character,
word, or whatever at a time.Swiping up with one finger moves backward by the
same increments. Swiping with one finger up then down while keeping your
finger on the screen or down and up will change the increment used with the
one finger swipe up or swipe down.
Swiping down with one finger over and over again and again can take some
time. Supposedly the jog wheel is meant to make this simpler and quicker.
The idea is that you set the increment by swiping up and down or down and up
with one finger. Once you have the increment set to letter, word or
whatever, then, with one finger, you double tap and hold and immediately
start drawing a circle on the screen either clockwise or counter clockwise.
Drawing the circle should move you forward or backward by the increment you
previously set. As long as you keep moving your finger around the circle,
you will continue to move. If you are moving forward by drawing the circle
clockwise, you can reverse the direction by stopping, but not lifting your
finger, and immediately drawing the circle in the opposite direction. The
speed at which you draw the circle determines the speed at which you move
either forward or backwards.
I suppose this is a nifty idea, but for some of us it just doesn't work very
well. Unfortunately I can't think of a better way of doing what the Jog
Wheel is supposed to do so, while it does not work well for me, more power
to those who find it useful.

What does it do exactly that is different from the other gesture that increases or decreases granularity? I’m having trouble doing it, but can do the swipe up and down or down and up in one motion OK. Just wondering what the jog wheel does that’s different.
