How to switch apps on iPad A16

Ive just upgraded to an ipad A16 from a 5th gen ipad. On the old ipad I double click the round button to bring up all open apps so I can clear or flip between them. How do I do this on the A16?

iPad, iPadOS 18

To access the App Switcher page, simply swipe upwards from the bottom edge of the screen to the centre - and pause briefly before lifting your finger from the screen.


Having recently replaced your iPad, you might do well to review the iPad User Guide - this being a rich source of information about your iPad and iPadOS. Here is a direct link to the page that describes how to switch between Apps:
