    How to Close Apps on iPhone

    iPhone comes built-in with lots of necessary apps from Apple Inc. Besides this, there are several hundreds of third-party apps listed on the Apple App Store. No matter whichever app you open, you will end up closing it once you finish using them. The iPhone users don’t need to close the unused apps as iOS manages the task efficiently. But there may be scenarios where an app may freeze, stuck, or take too long to load. In all these cases, you will need to exit the app manually. With every new model, Apple upgrades the UI, and exiting the app differs based on the model. In other words, closing apps on iPhone isn’t the same on all models. Henceforth this section guides you on how to close apps on iPhone.

    2. Now, swipe right or left to find the app you want to exit.

    3. Go ahead and swipe up on the preview of the respective app. With this, the app will be closed.
