A guide to help you learn how to close apps on your iPhone 14 Plus and 14 Pro Max, or any phone that supports this feature. It’s easier than you think! In this article, we will review how you can close apps on iPhone 14 plus, iPhone 14 pro max, and the iPhone 14.
The Four Methods
Close apps you don’t want to use: Simply press the home button twice quickly. To get back to your app, swipe up from the bottom of the screen or swipe left and right through your open apps.
When you’re done with a particular app, just close it by pressing the X icon in the upper-left corner of its window. To close all open apps at once, tap and hold down on any app icon until they all start shaking; then tap Close All.
Find out which apps are using the most battery power: Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Usage. You’ll see how much time each app has been running, which one is currently using the most battery power, and how long ago it was used last.
If you find an app that’s taking up too much battery life, consider deleting it if there’s another option available on your device. If not, go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and turn off any apps you aren’t using.
To control your notifications on Apple Watch Series 4 and Series 3: Go to the Watch app on your iPhone and select Notifications in the My Watch tab.
Turn off notifications for any apps you don’t need alerts for, like Facebook or Google Maps. For example, do you need to know every time someone likes your Instagram post?
Closing Multiple Apps At Once
It is possible to close more than one app at a time by touching the hand icon (formerly known as a multitasking icon) in the bottom left corner of the screen.
If you touch this icon, you’ll see all of your currently open apps listed in order. Simply tap on any app’s X button to close it. To reopen an app that has been closed, just go back to the home screen and swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
You can also reopen an app by pressing its Home button if it was not recently used. When you press the Home button, you’ll be taken to your Home Screen.
In addition, when you are swiping between screens or running a different app, your previous app will always be running in the background.
That means that even if you’re reading a book while browsing Facebook on Safari, both programs will still be open but not visible.
If you want to view your previous app, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and it will appear. Closing these two apps would be much simpler if they weren’t side-by-side.
For example, instead of closing each app individually and then returning to the homepage to reopen them, there could be a Close All button next to their tabs in the top right corner which would allow for quick disposal of both apps simultaneously.
What Is The Fastest Way To Close All Apps On iPhone?
A quick way to close all open apps is by pressing the Home button, then opening Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.
Swipe right, then tap the red X in the upper-right corner. Another option is tapping on the dock at the bottom of your home screen.
You can do this by dragging a finger across the bottom of the screen or scrolling through an alphabetical list with two fingers.
In addition, you can find a running app’s thumbnail image while scrolling and tap it to switch between different running apps.
Tap and hold down any app icon on the dock until they all start shaking, then release your finger.
The ones that don’t shake indicate that they are not currently running. Drag these into the Trash Can (the circle at the top of the screen) to delete them.
Alternatively, swipe left across one of these icons to show more options for deleting multiple apps without erasing everything else on your phone.
How Do I Close All My Apps At Once?
Hold down the Power button until a Slide to power off prompt appears. Click the power icon, then click Power off.
Once you’ve turned off your phone, you can restart it in a fresh state by holding down the Power button until it turns back on.
This can take anywhere from 30 seconds to two minutes depending on your model of phone.
When turning on your phone again, all open apps will be closed automatically, but if you need to quickly close an app that is open after powering up, press and hold the app’s preview screen with your finger until a red minus sign appears.
If this doesn’t work, swipe up with one finger to close any running apps one at a time. To close all active apps at once, double-press the Home button to bring up a list of active apps.
Press and drag the preview screens for each app onto the Trash Can icon in the lower left corner of your screen.
How Do I See Open Apps On iPhone 14?
To see open apps, double-click the Home button. From there, you can swipe up or down with three fingers to see your open apps.
To close an app that you’re finished with, swipe it towards the top of the screen, then choose Close.
You can also force quit any running app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen to bring up a list of open apps.
If you want to see which apps are currently running in the background, tap the icon in the lower left corner that looks like two circles with a line between them (it might say circles if you haven’t changed its name).
From there, you’ll be able to see what’s running. Tap each one for more information about it.
When you’re done looking at everything, tap Clear All Processes at the bottom of the screen to shut everything down.
Conclusion
We’ve learned the four most convenient ways you can close an app on your Apple device. But what if you want to close a bunch of apps in one fell swoop? Well, as we mentioned earlier, you can use the App Store’s home screen.
To do this, click the x button at the top left-hand corner of any window in which you want to exit out of. Once clicked, all those windows will disappear from your screen.
