Switch between apps on iPad

Use the Dock, the App Switcher, or a gesture to quickly switch from one app to another on your iPad. When you switch back, you can pick up right where you left off.

Open an app from the Dock

From any app, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and pause to reveal the Dock, then tap the app you want to use.

Favorite apps are on the left side of the Dock, and suggested apps—like ones you opened recently and ones open on your iPhone or Mac—appear on the right side of the Dock.

The Dock showing five favorite apps on the left and three suggested apps on the right.

Use the App Switcher

To see all your open apps in the App Switcher, do one of the following:
- Swipe up from the bottom edge and pause in the center of the screen.
- Double-click the Home button (on an iPad with a Home button).
To browse the open apps, swipe right, then tap the app or Split View workspace you want to use.

Switch between open apps

Swipe left or right with four or five fingers.
Swipe left or right with one finger along the bottom edge of the screen. (On an iPad with a Home button, perform this gesture with a slight arc.)

To turn off the multifinger swipe gesture, go to Settings > General > Multitasking & Dock.
