Pull to refresh

A gesture that reloads a list when it is pulled down from the top and released.

Drag the list down far enough and release to see a new item at the top.

Often confused with

• Infinite scroll: Browsing that appends items near the list’s end instead of reloading it with a pull from the top
• Spinner: A rotating loading indicator rather than the gesture that starts a refresh
