That’s all you need to do: just click and hold the navigation bar of the one app you want to focus on, shake it around the screen a bit, and every other open app will automatically minimize.

Big thanks to the TikToker known simply as Jess for sharing this awesome tip. “Totally trying this at work tomorrow,” one viewer commented, which was echoed by many. “NO WAY!” another excited commenter said. “I just tried it, and it WORKS!” And finally, one of our favorite sayings to share gets a representation here with, “OMG I was today years old when I learned this.” However, another user suggested an alternative means of doing the same thing as this TikToker’s 8-year-old. ‘Click bottom right corner — does the same,” the commenter said. That method isn’t quite as intuitive, however, and could lead to misclicks, so shake those windows away.
