With my old iPad if I hit the Home button, it would show all the websites and apps that are open. I could then swipe up to close them. With my new iPad 10, there is no home button. I tried swiping up from the bottom of the screen to show all open websites and apps, but that only seems to work about 25% of the time. Is there a different way to show everything that is open, so I can close all of those in background I no longer need running?
iPad, iOS 9

The swipe has to be from the bottom and upward slowly.

Thanks! Really? I thought for iPhone and iPad out was advisable not to have too many apps open in the background. Maybe that is wrong, or is not the case anymore?
It was never the case.
Apple would prefer that no one need to fuss with their apps, and has worked toward that goal; to make an iPhone or iPad self-managing to the extent feasible.

You just need to get the hang of it. Swipe up slowly and let go about halfway up the screen.
Bottom center upwards, slowly, about a third to a half the display, and stop and hold until the display shifts, let off from the hold, and the grid of running apps should appear.
Apple generally doesn’t suggest quitting apps either, absent some issue with the app itself.
Thanks, but it is hard to believe they designed it that way. I was able to get it to work only 25% of the time. It is my wife's iPad, and she only got that to work once out of 10 tries.

Good to know. Thanks
