How To Get Amazon Fire Back To Home Screen |
The Homeward Bound: Two Routes to Escape
There are two main ways to find your way back to the digital promised land of your home screen. Both are about as easy as navigating a river on an inflatable flamingo, but hey, at least there are no alligators!
-
The Home Button Hero: Look for the hero in this story - it's a big, friendly circle at the bottom center of your screen (unless you've been tinkering with the settings, in which case, well, good luck, buddy). This is your home button, your shining beacon of hope. Give it a good tap, and voila! You're back amongst your favorite apps and features.
-
The Swipe Savior: If the home button has mysteriously vanished (maybe it went on a coffee break?), there's another way out. Place your finger near the bottom of the screen and swipe upwards. This reveals a hidden toolbar, and there, nestled amongst its brethren, is the same heroic home button we mentioned earlier. Just tap it, and you're golden.
Bonus Tip: Feeling fancy? You can also swipe down from the top of the screen to access the quick settings menu. There you might find a handy "Home" shortcut too.
You've Made It! Now, Celebrate (with More Cat Videos, Obviously)
