How to see my open apps?

I had an update this morning and now I can no long swipe from the bottom and see all my open apps. I used to do this to move between open apps and to close apps. Now I don't know what apps are running or how to close many of them. I'm just periodically shutting down the iPad and restarting it.

Is there another way to see and manage my open apps? When it started up there was an intro saying that I would be able to swipe from somewhere and all the apps would pop up still but I thought it said the bottom of the screen?

iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 11.4.1

See the app switcher: In iOS 12, swipe up with one finger from the bottom edge of the screen and hold in the middle of the screen until the app switcher appears. You can also double-click the Home button to see all of your open apps. Swipe right with one finger to find and open a different app.

Many things have changed in iOS 12.

You might want to download the new iPad Users Guide for iOS 12 to famlairise yourself with how iOS 12 works.

Tap on the link below.

With the new iOS 12, you make the Control Panel visible by swiping down from the top right corner of the iPad's screen, now.

Also, if you want to access the control panel from within an app, there is a toggle button to toggle ON, in the Settings app, to allow the Control Panel to appear within an active app

The way you bring up the Dock now works a little differently too, in iOS 12, also.

You do a slower short swipe up, then pause when you see the Dock then take your finger off of the screen.

In addition, to bring up the App Switcher, now, you swipe up to the center of the screen, hold for a second, or two, then lift your finger off of the screen.

Lots of new features and things to discover iOS 12.

Thanks for the help, I thought there was something wrong with my install. Works perfectly with the little pause as you say.

The control panel I got but thanks for the link to the user guide. I'll download it and try and make some time to have a look through.
