How to Force Close Apps on iPhone in 2024

 For an iPhone in 2024, the process to force close apps will differ slightly by model. Here's how to do it:

For iPhones with a Home Button (iPhone 8 and earlier):

1. Double-Click the Home Button:  Double-tap (not press) your home button to open the app switcher.

2. Find the App: Swipe left or right to find the application that you want to close.

3. Swipe Up to Close: Swipe up on the applet preview.

Additional Tips:

When to Force Close: You can always force close an app if it becomes unresponsive or behaves badly.

Background App Refresh: Apps running in the background typically do not impact battery life unless they are using Background App Refresh or location services. Closing down too many applications in force can result to a performance that deteriorates since all the apps have to be loaded, once you open them again.
