To close apps on an iPhone, follow these steps:
- From the Home Screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle to open the App Switcher.
- Swipe left or right to find the app you want to close.
- Swipe up on the app's preview to close it.
You can close multiple apps faster by using multiple fingers to swipe up on several apps at once, but iOS does not provide a way to close all apps simultaneously with a single action
. Note that routinely closing apps is generally unnecessary because iOS efficiently manages background apps. Closing and reopening apps can even use more battery than leaving them open. You might want to close apps only if they are malfunctioning, draining battery excessively, or for privacy reasons
