How do you close apps in iOS 7

How do you close apps in iOS 7. The way I use to do it doesn't  work any more and it is reducing my useful battery life

Double tap on the home key, it brings up a line of apps with little screen shots hovering over them. Flip the screen up, kinda of like you're flipping those apps off your screen.
When you're done just press the home key once to exit the mode.
As to battery issues, poke around in the notifications. There's a lot of stuff defaulted to on that you may not need. Also look to the background updating of apps. Background updating of weather and stocks is defaulted to on, which means it's continually going out to update. May not be something you need.

    To close out apps, simply double click the home button and instead of holding down the app icons and clicking on the X mark in older versions, you have to swipe the app window up and away.

  • How do you close apps you hve looked at with the new software update?? You used to have to double click the home button and the apps would come up to delete bu that doesn't happen anymore.

    The apps in the multitaskbar should appear like pages on the whole display. To close them, just swipe from the bottom to the top. you can select single apps for closing, when you swipe them like you would swipe your homescreens.

  • How do you close apps running in the background in iOS 7?

    Do you know how to close apps in iOS 7?  In iOS 6 you held your finger on them and when the minus sign came up you closed them that way.  This saved the battery.  Now there is no way to close the apps once you close them and it runs the battery down rapidly.

  • How do I close apps in iOS 7.1.1 on my iPad?

    How do I close apps in my ipad with iOS 7.1.1?
    I have tried pressing the home button twice to get the strip of small icons along the bottom and then swiping open apps upwards, but nothing happens. I have also tried the old way of holding down the thumbnail ( it used to jiggle with a minus sign) but nothing happens that way either!

    You're nearly there:  Home button twice to get the list of recently used apps (they're not running) and swipe the large thumbnail above upwards to remove the app.   (99% of the time this activity is unnecessary.)

  • How do you close apps in iOS7

    Just upgraded to iOS7. Used to be able to close apps by holding down the Home button, then holding down an app icon. This would cause the 'x' icon to appear on icons of all running apps. You could then close by tapping the 'x'. This no longer works in iOS7 as far as I can tell. Anyone figure out how to close apps?

    Double tap the home button, just like 6.x
    Instead of holding on the icon, swipe up to dismiss the app.    

  • HT5858 Just updated my iPad, how do you close apps?

    I've just updated my iPad and cannot find how to close apps.  Need help

    For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
     Cheers, Tom

  • How do I close apps in IOS 8.02

    I just upgraded from IOS 6 to 8.02 and cannot close out the apps I have opened for the day.  Before the upgrade, all I had to do was double click on the bottom button, then hold my finger over the open apps.  When a minus sign appeared, I was able to close them out.  Now, when I double click, I get an entire screen of recent calls, e-mails, photos, etc.  Cannot close out the apps at all.

    Double-click the Home button, scroll sideways until you see the app you wish to quit, and then swipe it upward.
