Small Apps

Small apps are miniature apps that can run on top of other applications on the same

screen to enable multi-tasking. For example, you can have a web page open showing

details of currency exchange rates and then open the Calculator small app on top of it

and perform calculations. You can open the small apps window from the Recently Used

Applications screen. To download more small apps, go to Google Play™.
