If you own an Apple^® device, such as an iPhone^®, you know how convenient they can make your daily life. Plus, Apple is constantly reinventing their products and adding new features to further optimize the user experience. One such example of this progress is the quick-jump app feature on the iPhone XR. If you’re interested in learning more about this advancement, consider the following guide.

How You Previously Had to Switch Between Apps

Once the latest iPhone models removed the familiar home button and Touch ID^® features, smartphone users were ecstatic to open their devices with nothing but a glance. However, the absence of the button also spurred some confusion; how are you supposed to return to the home page? For this task, the newest iPhone devices are equipped with a thin line at the bottom of the screen, which when touched and swiped up, brings you immediately “home.”

You could also use this line to access the app switcher, which allows you to access or close down previously opened apps. To access this feature, iPhone users have to swipe up and hold their finger in the position for a moment instead of releasing it.

How to Switch Between Apps on the iPhone XR

Now, you can take advantage of an even smoother transition with the iPhone XR. This model introduces the quick-jump feature, which allows you to instantly revisit your just-used apps. To return to the previous application or window, swipe the long home bar at the bottom of your screen from left to right. You can repeat this action to revisit the next previously used app, and so on.
