example, you might want to switch to the calendar application to view your appointments or switch to the contacts application to look up a contact. While you are playing a song, you might want to switch to the messages application to reply to a message.
There are also shortcuts for most applications that can help you to perform common tasks quickly.

performance of your device, try to close applications when you are finished with them.
