Switching between apps on a bluetooth keyboard with an iPhone

Hello.
I am learning how to use my keyboard to my phone. I cannot for the fragile, little life of me figure out how to switch between apps but I know it can be done but whatever I try it doesn’t work.
I do not have an Apple keyboard.
If you use a Mac computer, they are the same keys you would use for going back-and-forth on Safari, and possibly other web browsers. Just with a caveat of using the shift key as well.
Also, you can change the keys to something else. Go to the settings that I mentioned in my first reply above.

Commands
The command to go to next or previous app is listed as, "Shift + Left Brace (for previous), and shift + Right Brace for (next).
You can change these of course, by going to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Commands > Keyboard.
I do not know if you need to hold the VO keys or something like Command, as I do not have a keyboard attached to my iPhone.
HTH. 🙂
hmm
For some reason this is not working. Do I need a certain layout on my keyboard? I would switch if I knew how.
Not the layout
I tried it with both English and Swedish layout and it made no difference. Do I have to activate something or change something to make it work again?
Commands, part DEUX
