Switch and Hand Off Apps

The App Switcher lets you easily switch between apps. You can also use Handoff to move active app tasks between devices.

Switch Between Apps

Use the App Switcher to switch to a recently used app, to force-quit a malfunctioning app, or to work with Handoff:

1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the App Switcher or double-press the Home button if you have one (Figure 68).

2. If you don’t see the app you want, flick left or right to find it.

3. Tap the app you want to switch to.

To force-quit an app, flick its image toward the top of the screen.
