When you press Alt+Tab on a keyboard connected to a tablet running Android 14, a small row of apps appears near the top that you can cycle through. This app strip shows you six of your most recent apps.

Android 14 improves multitasking on tablets with the Alt+Tab shortcut getting visual indicators and quick app switching. Recent apps display as a horizontal strip, highlighting the selected app for easier identification. This small change in Android 14 significantly enhances multitasking on tablets with a keyboard.

The discovery of an improved "Alt+tab" function on the tablet was picked up by Mishaal Rahman over at Android Authority. Rahman adds that Google has overhauled Alt+tab with a new UI in Android 14 QPR2. When the shortcut is used, a new horizontal row of apps is produced at the top of the tablet's display.
