On Android, there are three buttons along the bottom system bar. When I hit the square one, a UI displaying all the currently "open" apps.

What is the official name of this view?

  • Despite its seldomly-used formal name (Recents Screen), I generally refer to it as "Recents Apps" or "Recently Open", as it shows your recently open apps. – End Anti-Semitic Hate Nov 19 '20 at 04:55

It's called Recents Screen:

The Recents screen (also referred to as the Overview screen, recent task list, or recent apps) is a system-level UI that lists recently accessed activities and tasks.
