I still have no idea how to keep 1 screen open when changing to another, for example, if a banking app asks me for a security code, I have to close 1st page to get code but the 1st page has disappeared so I can't get anywhere. It's also impossible to swipe left and right between open pages. There has to be a way to do this so any help is appreciated thank you
