Go Home Gesture
What This Does
Returns you to the Home Screen from any app with a single upward swipe.
Why It's Useful
This is the most-used gesture on iPad. Once it becomes muscle memory, you stop thinking about navigation and stay focused on your work. It replaces the old Home button entirely.
How to Do It
- Place your finger on the bottom edge of the screen
- Swipe up smoothly and release — do not pause
- The current app shrinks away and the Home Screen appears
Try This Now
Open any app, swipe up from the bottom edge to go home, then open a different app. Repeat five times until the motion feels automatic.
Mental Hook: One swipe home.
