For example, it can be used to add an additional item to a list: 'Ich habe Äpfel, Bananen und auch Orangen gekauft' (I bought apples, bananas, and also oranges).
Auch can also be used to indicate similarity between two things or people: 'Mein Bruder ist auch sehr sportlich' (My brother is also very athletic). In this case, auch emphasizes the similarity between the speaker and their brother.
