My New iPad 2

Multitasking with the Home Button

The iPad can run two or more apps simultaneously and switch between them at the touch of the Home button.

To switch between multiple apps, follow these steps:

1. Press the Home button twice. A list of icons, representing different apps, appears (shown earlier in Figure 3-3.)

2. Tap the icon of the app you want to switch to using.

Note

If you want to remove an app from this list, you can press and hold your fingertip over an icon until all the icons wriggle. You’ll see a small red minus sign on the apps—tap it to remove an app.
