Apple Adds Multitasking Gestures for Original iPad

In a previous blog post I mentioned, Apple have included in the IOS 5.0.1 update to include Multitasking Gestures for Original iPad (1G). Using four or five fingers on your iPad screen, Multitasking Gestures allow you to swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen, and swipe left or right to switch between apps.

How-To Enable Multitasking Gestures:

 To Enable this Option on your iPad;

1. Access the ‘Settings’ menu,

2. Tap on ‘General’,

3. Locate the ”Multitasking Gestures” option, and select On..

Note: Blogger “Cocoa Box Notes” has advised that there are known issues with Multitasking if you are using the Penultimate or other Handwriting Apps.

If  required, once enabled, you can disable Multitasking Gestures at any time, by accessing the ‘Settings’ on your iPad. In the ‘General’ settings area, look for ‘Multitasking Gestures’, and disable the feature.

Using four or five fingers on your iPad screen, Multitasking Gestures allow you to swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen, and swipe left or right to switch between apps.
