It is possible to force restart an app on an iPhone. Sometimes, an app may freeze or become unresponsive, and in such cases, force quitting the app and relaunching it can help resolve the issue.
To force quit an app on an iPhone, you can follow these steps:
1. On older iPhones with a home button: Double-click the home button to access the App Switcher screen. On newer iPhones without a home button: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle of the screen to access the App Switcher.
2. On the App Switcher screen, you will see thumbnails of the recently used apps. Find the app that you want to force quit by swiping left or right.
3. Once you have located the app, swipe up on the app’s thumbnail to close it. This action will force quit the app, and it will no longer appear on the App Switcher screen.
4. To relaunch the app, go back to the Home screen and find the app’s icon. Tap on the app’s icon to open it again.
By force quitting and relaunching the app, you are essentially starting it fresh, which can help resolve any temporary glitches or issues that may have caused the app to become unresponsive. It’s worth noting that force quitting an app should be done sparingly, as most apps are designed to function properly without the need for force quitting.
It’s also important to mention that force quitting an app will not delete any of your data or settings within the app. It simply closes the app and clears its temporary cache, allowing you to relaunch it and start fresh.
Personally, I have had to force quit apps on my iPhone a few times when they became unresponsive or started behaving erratically. In most cases, force quitting and relaunching the app resolved the issue, and the app worked properly afterwards.
