lighted your desired app, release the

and the app fills the screen. (Highlighted an app

✓ Touchscreen: Slide your finger gently inward

from the screen’s left edge. When the last-used

app begins to appear, slide back toward the left

edge; the list of recently used apps sticks to the

the screen. To close an unwanted app, drag it

off the screen’s bottom edge until the app van-

ishes, like water off a cliff.
