To close all running apps on an iPhone, it depends on the model you have. If you have an iPhone X or newer, the process is slightly different compared to iPhone 8 or older models.
For iPhone X or newer models, including iPhone XS, XR, and iPhone 11, closing apps is done by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. The process is quite intuitive and feels smooth. Here’s how you do it:
1. Start by opening the multitasking view. On iPhone X or newer, you can do this by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and pausing in the middle of the screen. You will see all the open apps displayed in a card-like view.
2. To close an app, simply swipe up on the app card, pushing it off the top of the screen. You can swipe up on multiple app cards at once to close multiple apps simultaneously.
3. Once you’ve swiped up on all the app cards you want to close, you can either swipe down from the top of the screen or press the home button (if your iPhone has one) to exit the multitasking view and return to the home screen.
Now, let’s talk about older iPhone models like the iPhone 8 or earlier. With these models, closing apps is done by double-pressing the home button. Here’s how:
1. Start by double-pressing the home button. This action will bring up the app switcher, which shows all the open apps in a card-like view.
2. To close an app, swipe left or right on the app card to find the app you want to close.
3. Once you’ve found the app you want to close, swipe up on the app card, pushing it off the top of the screen. Repeat this step for any other apps you want to close.
4. After closing the desired apps, press the home button again to exit the app switcher and return to the home screen.
Closing apps on an iPhone is a simple process, regardless of the model you have. It’s a good practice to close unnecessary apps to free up memory and improve overall device performance.
