How to close multiple apps at once 

Closing apps on an iPhone is a basic and straightforward task that can be done in just a few taps. If you are using an iPhone, you may want to know how to close all apps at once to save battery and improve the device's performance. In this article, we will walk you through the simple steps to close all apps on an iPhone.

Step 1: Open the app switcher

The app switcher is the screen that shows all the open apps on your iPhone. To access the app switcher, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hold your finger on the screen for a second until the app switcher appears.

Step 2: Swipe up on the apps

To close an app, swipe up on the app's preview. Swipe up on one app at a time until all the apps are closed. You can use one finger to swipe up on one app or multiple fingers to swipe up on several apps simultaneously.

Step 3: Force close the apps

If an app is unresponsive or frozen, you may need to force close it. To force close an app, swipe up on the app's preview in the app switcher and hold your finger on the preview until the app starts shaking. Then, tap on the red minus button on the app's preview to force close it.

Step 4: Repeat the process for all apps

To close all the apps on your iPhone, repeat the process of swiping up on the app previews until all the apps are closed. It's important to note that closing apps on your iPhone does not delete them from your device. They will still be available in your app library or home screen.

How to close multiple apps at once

In addition to closing apps one by one, you can also close multiple apps at once by swiping up on multiple app previews with multiple fingers. This can be a faster and more efficient way to close multiple apps. To do this, use two, three  or four fingers to swipe up on two, three or four app previews simultaneously in the app switcher. Keep in mind that this method may require a bit of practice and may not be as precise as swiping up on one app at a time. However, it's a useful technique to know, especially if you need to close several apps quickly.
