app switching
Jumping between applications
App switching is the act of moving between different applications on a device, typically a smartphone or tablet.
Operating systems provide gestures or buttons for this: double-tapping home, swiping up, or using a task switcher that displays recent apps as cards.
I was app switching so fast I lost track of what I was doing.
