Does anyone know how to activate the app switcher when using the magic mouse while in an app? The only way I figured out how to get to the app switcher with the mouse is when I’m at the home screen and I pull the cursor to the bottom. This doesn’t work when I’m in an app. When I I pull the cursor to the bottom it activates the dock then takes me to the home screen if I keep pulling the cursor down further.
Got a tip for us?

Swipe three fingers up and do not release On the Magic Trackpad brings on the switcher on the 10.5.
What’s the correspondent gesture on the Magic Mouse?

Double tap with two fingers but it doesn’t work on iPad. Two finger swipes are also not recognised.
For the 2017 ipad pros and before, you can enable the assistive touch and keep it at minimum opacity on right bottom corner of the screen. Modify the one press shortcut to app switcher and 2 press shortcut to home screen. This combo seems efficient to me. I use iPad Pro 2017 with Magic Mouse 2
Turn on dwell control and set up 4 corners, that way you can get 4 more buttons on the magic mouse. It entails being bothered with that accessibility menu option. You can also set 3 more actions on the mouse, inluding the app switcher. As to the four corners, I use top left corner for Home, top right corner for Highlight Search (you can bring it onto the screen on any page on iPad), bottom left corner for screen capture and bottom right corner for app switcher. You could do this using any mouse but... Magic Mouse seems to have the least lag. It will be very jarring at first, but if you set the fall back action to “pause dwell”, it is whole lot more manageable.
