Maybe I am being stupid but when I see that home button with nothing else left on the screen I press the real button, on the bottom part of my devices, never thought about pressing the one on screen.
I am getting used to the current setup but can't say it is my favorite thing in IOS 7. Some of the features that are supposed to be new, in fact seem like eye candy to me. I am on a 4S which may make some difference, but no immediate plans to upgrade today. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ricardo Walker Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 12:26 AM To: viphone Subject: Re: App Switcher [was "Re: iOS 7, thoughts?"] Hi, All you said is true. But, that's not what I was getting at. I was saying, why have the home screen as an option when all other apps have been close? Just close the switcher automatically instead on displaying the homescreen in the app switcher.
