Controls
How to move, interact, chat, and use the camera with touch.
The Decentraland mobile app replaces the keyboard and mouse with on-screen touch controls. Everything you can do on desktop is also possible on mobile, with a different layout designed for one-handed touch use.
Movement
On-screen joystick (left side of the screen) — drag to walk and run in any direction. The further you push the joystick, the faster you move.
Camera drag (anywhere on the right side of the screen) — drag to look around. This rotates your view without moving your avatar.
Interaction
Interaction button (bottom right) — tap to interact with whatever you're aiming at. This is the equivalent of a pointer click on desktop.
Tap on objects — many things in the world can be tapped directly. If a creator has set up an entity to respond to taps, you'll trigger it the same way you would click on desktop.
Chat
Chat icon (left side) — tap to open chat. Use it to talk to people nearby or to friends in private messages.
Profile, search, and emotes
Profile (top right) — open your profile, manage your avatar, and access account settings.
Search (left side) — find scenes, worlds, events, and other players.
Emotes (left side) — trigger emotes to express yourself in front of other players.
Camera
Camera controls (top right) — switch between first-person and third-person views, and access camera-related options.
Tips
You can chat with anyone nearby, even if they're on desktop or web. Everyone shares the same world.
Long-press on the joystick to keep walking without holding the screen with your thumb (depending on app version).
If a scene's UI ever feels cramped, the creator may not have updated it for mobile yet — give it a moment, look for an alternate view, or report it from the in-app support menu.
