Microsoft Solitaire -- can't exit!

[thoots]

Folks,

Just tried Microsoft Solitaire Collection. Played a couple of games, but when I was done, there was NO WAY ON EARTH to exit out of it. No buttons on-screen at the bottom of the screen, no home button hidden behind anything -- just restart the phone or have an $850 Solitaire game.

Anyone want to give that a shot and see what happens? I certainly poked around everywhere, tried to go into any menus that I could, but with no "back" button or no "home" button or no "recent" button, I was absolutely stuck.

Update: I tried, tried again, and it turns out that I CAN get the home button to respond -- which let me at least get out of the app. But most certainly, there was no way to get to the back or recent apps "buttons."

I tried it out on both that game and another one that hides the navigation buttons. If I swipe up from the bottom of the phone, the buttons reappear. Try that and see if that works for you.

Yep, that worked perfectly. Thanks for the tip -- I sure don't recall seeing anything like "swipe up to show the navigation controls" in any instructions or "tips and tricks" articles or videos. But that's definitely the ticket!

You're very welcome! I found that functionality by accident.
