How To Close Apps On iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, & iPhone XR



If you’ve owned any iPhone that came out before the iPhone X, closing apps on an iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, or iPhone XR is completely different than it used to be. Why? There’s no home button anymore!

Some people say closing out your apps isn’t necessary, but as a former Apple tech, I’ve seen plenty of instances where closing apps saved battery life and fixed other software issues. In a perfect world, you would never have to close out your apps — but apps don’t always behave the way…

  1. Hey, guys! I HAVE to ask you something! If my wife opens only one app on her iPhone XS Max, she one-fingers it up and it goes away. NOW…if she touches the Safari icon, that same app still shows in her Safari. Question: How does she have an app open and wants to return to Google? In other words, she does not know how to "backscreen" or return to the previous page. Too, how does she, basically, close one app in order to pull Google, for example, back up? I have an android and do not know how to do this on her iPhone either! THANK YOU!

  2. This was SO helpful. I just got my XS max yesterday, and was trying to figure out how to clear the screens. Glad this video was out there.

  3. Your commentary and video were very helpful. I have had my XR for a week and closing apps was the only problem I had. After watching you, I feel confident that I wont have any more difficulty. Thanks.
