How to Close Apps on iPad and iPhone
Apple’s iOS operating system provides a user-friendly interface with many useful features, including the ability to multitask and run multiple apps simultaneously on an iPad or iPhone. However, keeping several apps running at the same time can slow down the device’s performance or drain the battery’s power. It is, therefore, essential to know how to close apps on an iPad or iPhone properly.
