iOS 7 contains visual changes aplenty, but it also includes one new gesture that iOS users are going to want to take advantage of.
When it comes to iOS devices, the iPad has long had gestures for navigating in and out of apps with ease, whereas the iPhone and iPod Touch have only had the basic gestures in iOS, such as swipe to delete.
With iOS 7, Apple is introducing a new gesture to all iOS devices that works throughout Apple's own apps, and can be implemented by developers in their own apps. The gesture allows users to move back one screen without having to tap on a back button. iOS 7 doesn't really have any back "buttons" (just text) now, so the gesture makes sense.

Here's how it works: when a user is in a supported app, such as Messages, Settings, Mail orSafari and they'd like to go back to the message list, the previous screen in Settings or the previous Web page in Safari, they can swipe from the left edge of the screen to the right.
The current screen will then be taken with the gesture, above the previous screen, and eventually pushed entirely off the device's display. It's a quick and easy gesture, but one that takes some adjustment.
