Swipe
Start from any edge of the screen, then
swipe inwards toward the center.
Swiping down from the top edge or
up from the bottom edge displays a
task bar on the bottom of the screen
with app commands, including New,
Refresh, and other commands.
If you have an app currently open,
you can also:
• Swipe from the top edge to
halfway down the screen without
lifting your finger to dock that app
on the left or right side of the
screen. This allows you to keep
two apps open simultaneously in a
split-screen format.
• Swipe from the top edge straight
down to the bottom edge of the
screen continuously without lifting
your finger to close the currently
open app.
