I've got an iPhone for work. I need to use two factor to approve myself from my phone to access secure things from the same phone. Once I open the authenticator I can't get back to the page I was at, and there's no "open windows" square button like Android has, so how do I get back to it so I can enter the 2fa?

Any help is appreciated.

I think there is a way to get where I am touching the screen to show up, but I forget how. Hopefully this helps.

You may be thinking of iPadOS. You can use 5 fingers to “pinch” and that does the same.

But I don’t believe that exists on iPhone. It doesn’t work for me, but I’m on the smaller 15 Pro where 5 fingers can’t comfortably do this.
