With that said, we'll show you how to see open apps on your iPhone 13, so make sure to join us. 

This article applies to the entire iPhone 13 generation (iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, and Pro Max). It also applies to any iPhone that runs iOS 15 and comes with a full-size screen (without the Home button, that is).

2. Then, swipe using your finger from the bottom of the screen (you can do it slowly). 

3. As you swipe, pause in the center of the screen. You should feel a vibration. 

4. At this moment, all your currently open apps will appear on your iPhone’s screen.
