About multitasking
Your BlackBerry® smartphone supports multitasking, which allows you to run more than one app at a time. During a call, for
example, you might want to switch to the calendar app to view your appointments or switch to the contacts app to look up a
contact. While you are playing a song, you might want to switch to the messages app to reply to a message.
There are also shortcuts for most apps that can help you to perform common tasks quickly.
Note: The more apps that you have running, the more memory and battery power your smartphone uses. To optimize the
performance of your smartphone, try to close apps when you are finished with them.
