When an app doesn’t have a back button… How do I go back?

Loving the IPad Pro but I’ve been a bit annoyed that I don’t know how to go back. Like when I’m reading a comic in comiXology and I want to go back to choose another one or browse more, since there’s no go back arrow anywhere in the screen… I don’t know how to do that, I’m just stuck in that screen. There’s only the home line at the bottom that you swipe up to go back to the home but I have no idea how to just… go Back within the app. Is there a finger gesture I have to do? (Also this isn’t just a problem restricted to comiXology, I was just using it as an example)

The iPad User Guide for iPadOS is also a rich (and often overlooked) source of information about your iPad - and how it can be used. Here are links to both the downloadable and online versions of the Guide:

‎iPad User Guide on Apple Books

iPad User Guide - Apple Support


Apple also has an extensive YouTube library:

Another useful source of information is the Tips App - that you should find pre-installed on your iPad.
