How to quickly switch between apps on the new ipad pro

With the recent disappearance of the physical Home button, the new 11 and 12.9-inch iPad Pro's further power a new user interface that is even more focused on multitasking. In addition, with the arrival of iOS 12, new ways are offered to access the application selector (App Switcher) that improves this feature.

Toggle between apps on iPad Pro

1. Once you are on the home screen, simply swipe from the bottom up and hold the screen for a few moments to bring up the app picker. If you are using an app, for example Pages, swipe from the top Bottom of the screen up to open the dock, and continue to the center of the screen to access the app picker.

Remember that on iPads that have a physical Start button, you must press the button twice in a row to activate the application selector.

In the new application selector interface, the Control Center, which used to appear on the right side of the screen, has disappeared. Rather, the dock will continue to appear at the bottom of the screen while the apps you have used are shown in a tiled view with large "screenshots" so you can see exactly when the you left open. These apps are sorted from most recent to least recent, from right to left. Thus, to see all the applications that you have open and choose one, you only have to slide your finger on the screen to the left or to the right.

When you open two applications at the same time with multitasking functionality, this is also reflected in the application selector, so you can also quickly switch between multiple multitasking windows with just a swipe and tap.

Normally there is no need to close applications because iOS is already optimized so that apps do not consume device resources when they are not being actively used. Still, if you need or want to close an open app:

1. Launch the application selector as mentioned above Swipe up on any application to close it.
