How to Close or Force Quit iPad Apps

Hello, Guys welcome back Learn How to Close or Force Quit iPad Apps. Apple developed its iPadOS software so that you don’t have to close an app when you’re not using it, because most apps that aren’t in use remain in a suspended state and don’t consume any resources or battery power.

How to Close Apps on iPads With No Home Button

On iPads without a Home button, a separate set of gestures are employed, one of which affects the App Switcher and how to open apps are discovered and closed.

  1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen on the iPad’s Home screen, or while in an app, and pause for a time while still pressing the screen, then let go when the App Switcher displays.
  2. Swipe left and right between the rows of app cards until you find the app you wish to close.
  3. To close the app, use a rapid upward swipe.

It’s worth noting that there’s usually no need to close apps that aren’t causing problems in order to boost performance, as Apple has built-in management mechanisms for dealing with all of the apps that are open on your device.

According to Apple, force quitting a working app will not improve your battery life, and it’s possible that doing so can actually drain battery because it causes the ‌iPhone or ‌iPad‌ to load it all over again.
