How do I adjust my flight elevation?

Question

I've figured out how to fly in Minecraft Pocket Edition but how do I change the altitude of flight? I'm using the Android version on a Nexus 10.

Answer 1

To start flying using the touchscreen controls, double-tap the center (jump) button. Its icon will change to a wing.

To fly up or down, swipe from the center button to the up or down arrow, and hold.

There are a variety of other interactions among the direction buttons, though none that are necessary like this one; I suggest playing around.

Answer 2

To start flying, double tap the jump button when in a creative world. To move up or down, press and hold the jump button, then move your finger up or down.

Answer 3

To start flying, double tap your 'jumping' button. In order to go up, you press and hold the jump key. And, in order to descend doubble tap and you will fall out of the sky.
