    View your running apps. Double-click the Home button to reveal the multitasking display. Swipe 
    left or right to see more. To switch to another app, tap it.
    Close an app. If an app isn’t working properly, you can force it to quit. Drag the app up from the 
    multitasking display. Then try opening the app again.

    the Home screen to see the search field. See Search

    Language). To use Voice Control in another language or dialect, go to Settings > General > 
    International > Voice Control.

    remain in the center of the screen until you acknowledge them.
    Some apps may include a badge on their Home screen icon, to let you know how many new 
    items await—for example, the number of new email messages. If there’s a problem—such as a 
    message that couldn’t be sent—an exclamation mark 
     appears on the badge. On a folder, a 
    numbered badge indicates the total number of notifications for all the apps inside.
