When an application fills the screen and you want to go to Card view, do one of the following:

•Tap the center of the gesture area.

•Make the up gesture: Flick up from the gesture area to the screen.

Work with stacked cards

If you are working in an application and perform an action that opens a new screen or launches a second application—for example, composing a new email from your Inbox or dialing a phone number from Contacts (which opens the Phone app)—your smartphone treats the app screens as a group. If you minimize one of the screens, that screen and all screens associated with it appear as a set of stacked cards in Card view.

You can also manually stack and unstack cards.

Move among cards and stacks

1In Card view (see Manage applications in Card view), swipe left or right on the screen to see other open apps.

2Tap a card to maximize the application.

TIP You can also maximize the center card in Card view by tapping the center of the gesture area, or by flicking down from the screen to the gesture area.

TIP You can set a preference to move among open apps without first going to Card view (see Turn advanced gestures on/off).

Reorder/stack single cards

1In Card view (see Manage applications in Card view), tap and hold a card.

2After the card becomes transparent, do one of the following:

•To stack the card: Drag the card on top of another card. Release when the cards are positioned to be stacked.

•To change the card order: Drag the card to another position.

TIP To unstack cards, tap and hold a card in a stack, and drag it to a position outside the stack.
