You can launch apps quickly without searching through page after page of app icons using a few shortcuts. The Spotlight Search feature is powerful, but many people never use it. You can open it two ways: by swiping down on the Home Screen (being careful not to swipe from the very top of the screen, which opens the Notification Center) or by swiping from left to right on the Home Screen until you "scroll" past the first page of icons and into the Expanded Spotlight Search, and then pull down.

​ Spotlight Search automatically shows app suggestions based on your most often used and most recently used apps, so you might find what you&#39;re looking for right away. If not, start typing the first few letters of the app&#39;s name into the search box and it will show up.

Spotlight Search performs a search of your entire device, so you can also look for contacts, music, movies, and books. It even performs a web search. Spotlight Search can look inside apps for information, as long as those apps support the feature.

So, a search for a movie might provide a shortcut to it in your Netflix app. <h2> Launch the App as Fast as Sound Using Siri </h2> Siri is full of great shortcuts many people don't use because they either don't know about them or they feel a little silly talking to their iPhone or iPad. Rather than spend time hunting down an app, you can tell Siri to launch an app, by saying something like, "Launch Netflix" or "Open Safari." On devices with a Home button, you can activate Siri by holding down the Home Button.

If this doesn't work, turn on Siri in your Settings first. If you have "Hey Siri" turned on in the settings, simply say, "Hey Siri, open Netflix." There are also many other great features that go along with Siri, such as leaving yourself reminders, scheduling meetings, or checking the weather outside.

<h2> Launch Apps From the Dock </h2> Did you know you can exchange the apps on your iPhone or iPad's dock? The dock is the area at the bottom of the Home Screen that displays the same apps no matter which screen you're on at the time. This dock will hold four apps on the iPhone and over a dozen on some iPads.

Launch Apps From the Dock

Did you know you can exchange the apps on your iPhone or iPad's dock? The dock is the area at the bottom of the Home Screen that displays the same apps no matter which screen you're on at the time. This dock will hold four apps on the iPhone and over a dozen on some iPads.

You can move apps on and off the dock the same way you move them around the screen.&nbsp;This gives you a great area to put your most-used apps. Even better, you can create a folder and move it to the dock, giving you quick access to a larger number of apps. On the iPad, your most recently opened apps show up on the far right side of the dock.
