How to close apps on iPhone 13 – Easy Steps

Typically, your iPhone 13 keeps apps running smoothly in the foreground (or hanging in the background, ready to resume when needed). But if an iOS app misbehaves, it’s easy to force the app to close. Here’s how to close apps on iPhone 13.

Close applications only if they are not working properly

Before we begin, it is important to know that the iPhone 13 operating system, Apple’s iOS, does a great job of automatically managing system resources. Therefore, it is not necessary to force a manual close of an application, unless the application is responding or responding.

While it’s tempting to “clean up” by regularly closing your suspended apps, it can actually slow down your iPhone and affect battery life. This is because the next time you start an application, the application should completely reload from scratch. It is slower and uses more CPU cycles, which will drain your iPhone’s battery.

How to force close an app on iPhone 13

To close an application on your iPhone 13, you need to launch the application switching screen. To do this, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and pause near the middle of the screen, then lift your finger.

When the application switching screen appears, you will see a gallery of thumbnails representing all currently open or suspended applications on your iPhone. Swipe left or right to search for apps.

When you locate the thumbnail of the app you want to close, quickly drag it up with your finger, towards the top edge of the screen.

The tile will disappear and the application will be forced to close. The next time you start the app, it will reload completely. You can repeat this with as many apps as you like on the app switch screen.

If you’re still having trouble with an app after forcing it to close, try restarting your iPhone 13. You can also perform a system update or update the app. And finally, if you need to force close an app on an iPad, a similar technique works too.
