I was new to Android when I bought a Nexus 10 tablet a couple of years ago, but had little difficulty in finding my way around it. I subsequently bought an Android phone (the Moto G 2nd Gen dual SIM) which behaves in much the same way, apart from the extra functions needed by a phone. But my wife has got an iPad Mini (not the latest sort) and I struggle to find my way around that! For example, with Android, there are 3 icons at the bottom, the right-hand one of which displays all open apps and lets you switch from one to another or turn off any you've finished with. How the hell do you do that on Apple devices? -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup. Whilst email address is valid, it is seldom checked.

Oh, I manage fine with both, but Apple have got their updates done right. > I was new to Android when I bought a Nexus 10 tablet a couple of years > ago, but had little difficulty in finding my way around it.

Now I look again, it *is* in the user manual - but not very prominently. Judging by the number of app screens to flick through when doing that (I just found about 40 open!) it's obvious that my wife doesn't know how to do it - and it's her device! -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.

You know it's not really necessary? iOS and Android are extremely efficient in managing memory resources, so it doesn't really matter if you have 40 apps 'open'. The OS will swap out dormant apps for ones which are active more efficiently that having to open apps from scratch each time. I only ever do this for apps that are misbehaving.

But it's still useful to be able to flick between recent apps (the equivalent of Alt/Tab on a PC) rather than having to find them again on one of the home screens. And I make a habit of turning off apps I'm not actively using in the (maybe forlorn) hope that this will conserve battery power. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.
