Close Apps Quickly
What This Does
Removes apps from the App Switcher so they stop running in the background.
Why It's Useful
When your iPad feels sluggish or an app is misbehaving, closing it from the App Switcher is faster than restarting the device. You can also close multiple apps at once using multiple fingers.
How to Do It
- Swipe up and pause to open the App Switcher
- Swipe an app card upward to close it
- To close several at once, use multiple fingers to swipe up on multiple cards simultaneously
Try This Now
Open four apps, open the App Switcher, and close two of them with a single upward swipe each. Reopen one of the closed apps from the Home Screen to confirm it launches fresh.
Mental Hook: Flick it away.
