Recents provides an efficient way of switching between recently used applications. It provides a clear navigation path between multiple ongoing tasks.

The Recents button at the right side of the navigation bar displays the apps that the user has interacted with most recently. They are organized in reverse chronological order with the most recently used app at the bottom.

Switch to an app by touching it. Remove an item by swiping left or right.
