An apparatus may include one or more memories and one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to execute instructions to facilitate providing a first application window for display. The instruction may facilitate receiving a switching input. The instructions may facilitate, in response to the switching input, providing a plurality of application windows for concurrent display. The providing a plurality of application windows may include changing a display view from the first application window to the plurality of application windows. The plurality of application windows include the first application window and one or more additional application windows. The instructions may facilitate touching and sliding, off the display view, one of the plurality of application windows. The sliding may cause permanently removing the one of the plurality of application windows from application windows available for display.
