​To pin an app: Tap on the overview button (it's the square button along the bottom of your screen) that shows all your current running apps.

  • Drag the title bar for the app you're going to pin up, until it's in the middle of the screen.
  • In the bottom-right corner of the app overview will be a blue pin button. Tap on it.
  • Each time you pin an app, you'll be asked to confirm the action. You'll also have to decide if you want to require a security code to leave the pinned app.
