Then how we access multi-task?
Right now we access multi-task by long pressing the back button.
Long press windows button will bring out voice control.

Just looking at some forums and got some info about it. Some of it is here:Then how we access multi-task?

Notification Center
In the suddenly long tradition of “Windows Phone would be great if only it had [insert feature here],” a notification center is the new darling. Android has had a notification center for years and even Apple’s lackluster iOS added one in late 2011. But Windows Phone relies instead on live tile for persistent notifications. These tile updates are certainly more dynamic and useful than what’s available on iOS and Android icons, but they can’t rely match the amount of information that can be relayed by a full-screen notification history list.

Multitasking
Answering one of my own key criticisms of Windows Phone, the multitasking UI is finally picking up the most obvious feature of all time: A Close App button (“X”) that you can use to manually shut down an app. Brilliant.

All Apps sorting
One of the weird problems with Windows Phone is that the All Apps list—seen by swiping horizontally from the Start screen—gets unwieldy when you add too many apps to the phone. So Microsoft added a quick navigation feature, which is nice, but still not granular enough for real-world use. In Windows Phone 8.1, Microsoft appears to be adding a sorting capability to All Apps, just as they are doing in Windows 8.1, so you can view this list in far more useful ways.


New Calendar views
I really like the Windows Phone Calendar app but its available views are somewhat lackluster. It’s not totally clear from this shot what’s changing, but there are definitely more view options coming, including This Week and Next Week, and the views will all be available right from the app bar. Good.

There are other minor things in there—a Battery Sense app that could sit alongside Data Sense in helping you keep your phone working efficiently—but you get the gist. Assuming this stuff is real—always a tough call—I like what I see here. And of course I expect a lot more as well.
