How to close iPhone apps

Apple designed its iPhone software so you don't have to close an app when you're not using it, since most inactive apps remain suspended and don't use up any resources or drain your battery.

However, if an iOS app becomes unresponsive, you may need to force quit the app and restart it to get it to work properly again. Here's how to do it on older and newer iPhones.

How to close apps on iPhone using the Home button

1. Double-click the Home button to display your recently used apps.
2. Swipe right or left to find the app you want to close.
3. Swipe up on the app's preview card to close the app.

How to Close Apps on iPhone Without Home Button

On an iPhone without a home button, a completely different set of gestures are used, one of which involves App switcher and a way to find and close open apps.

1. On your iPhone's Home screen, or within an app, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause for a moment while still pressing on the screen, then release when the App Switcher appears.
2. Now, swipe left or right among the different app cards to find the app you want to close.
3. Use a quick swipe up to close the app.

It's worth reiterating that closing your apps is generally not necessary to improve performance, as Apple has a built-in management system for handling all the apps you have open on your device.
