Running multiple programmes on ipad

[City]

If you have an up to date, or somewhat recent iOS (iPad update) then you have the option to multitask, which is where you slide your fingers across the app, allowing it to go to the next one you recently played, or is very much used.
How to turn it on is to go to Settings, General, and scroll down to Multitasking Gestures.

Sweet! Thank you... glad I checked in today and got a new trick. I too am concerned about home button abuse / wear.

No problem Verndog!

By the way, I like your Avatar.

I've never heard of a home button being worn out... and I've been using my iPad1 daily since the day they came out. Until I got the iPad 3 anyway.

But using the button isn't as simple as the five finger pinch gesture. People should read the section on multitasking gestures in the manual for more info.

Short version:
Upgrade to the latest version of iOS if necessary and then...
Enable Multitasking Gestures in the General Settings (towards the bottom).

Thank you as well. People either love it or hate it.

Thank you as well. People either love it or hate it.

I did a double take when I saw your Avatar.....quite unusual it is...but well done.

It's just weird though, but I do like it!
