iPad Coolest Tricks -1

iPad is easy to use and you can get most of the functions without reading a user manual. But there are some very cool tricks people might not know even they use iPad for a long time.
Here are the coolest tricks I found.

Use five fingers to close an application

Everyone knows to use the Home button to close an application. But there is a better and quicker way. Just put your five fingers on screen and pinch. This like using your five fingers to zoom out a picture. 

This cool feature is not turned on by default (Apple should do that). To turn it on, go to Settings, General and find "Multitasking Gestures" and turn it on.

Swipe four fingers up to display multitasking bar
Once you have Multitasking Gestures enabled, you can also display the multitasking bar by simply swiping your four fingers up. This is same as double click on the Home button. On the multitasking bar, you can switch to recent apps or close apps.

Swipe four fingers left and right to switch apps
Want to go back to the previous apps? Many people just press Home button and then find and click the previous app on the home screen. A better way is display the multitasking bar by press Home button twice and then select the previous app on the multitasking bar. With the Multitasking Gestures enabled, the best way is just use your four fingers to swipe to the left. If you want to go back just swipe right.
This gestures may be slow if the app you switch to has been used used for a while. It takes some time for the app to start and display.
With the above 3 tricks, you don't need a physical Home button anymore !(almost).
