Navigating Applications - Sony XPERIA XZ User Manual

Navigating applications

You can navigate between applications using the navigation keys and the recently
used applications window, which lets you switch easily between all recently used
applications. The navigation keys are the Back key, the Home key, and the Recent
apps key. You can also pop open two applications on the screen at once using the
split screen mode, if the application supports multi-window function. Some
applications get closed when you press the Home key
paused or continue to run in the background. If an application is paused or running in
the background, you can continue where you left off the next time you open the
application.
