Navigating Applications
You can navigate between applications using the navigation keys and the recently used
applications window, which lets you switch easily between all recently used applications.
The navigation keys are the Back key, the Home key, and the Recent apps key. You can
also pop open two applications on the screen at once using the split screen mode, if the
application supports multi-window function. Some applications get closed when you
press the Home key to exit while others are paused or continue to run in the
background. If an application is paused or running in the background, you can continue
where you left off the next time you open the application.
