Does iOS7 allow you to quit apps running in the background?

I can't seem to close my apps running in the background. Before the upgrade, you could double click the home button and all apps running in the background would pull up; you could then hold one down and the app would allow you to cancel it. Now , the double tap brings up all background app but holding down on these apps doesn't allow them to be cancelled. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Double tap home button, then swipe the app upward to close it.

Double tap the home button. Slide the preview window upward. You can do 2 at a time.
It's rarely useful or necessary to do this. Very few apps actually "run in the background" (such as audio streaming and navigation apps). The vast majority are frozen and consume no resources. The iOS manages memory for you to optimize running apps.

My IPhone4 is secretly using alot of data even though I have double tapped Home button and closed all the apps running in the background.

My Iphone4 is secretly using alot of data even after I have double tapped the home button and closed all the apps running in the background.
This just started happening 3 days ago.
When im out of home, the phone drains battery REALLY FAST, I lose 6% battery in 5 minutes.
The phone also heats up and feels very warm after a few minutes.
When I turn the data plan off, it becomes normal again, like I lose 1% every 30minutes even while listening to mp3.
I can conclude that its secretly using the 3G at an alarming rate which causes the battery to die so quickly
I have uploaded 2 pictures showing what happens before and after I turn on my WIFI.
Notice that the ping spikes like crazy on my home network once I turn on my WIFI on my IP4
WIFI OFF:
WIFI ON:
I hope someone can assist me with this!
Thanks!!

There is a common misconception that closing an app on the Quick Launch screen (it's real name) also kills the app's background process. This is not the case. First, all built in apps (mail, contacts, calendar, game center, notes, reminders, Genius, Photo Stream, etc) continue running their background processes even if killed in the Quick Launch screen. For apps from the App Store killing the foreground process also gives the app the option of killing its background process, but it doesn't have to. In addition, any app that has Notifications enabled can restart its background process if it receives a Notification.
iOS 7 gives the user more control over background processes; you can selectively allow or deny any app to run in background. As you apparently have not upgraded this option is not available to you.
As Chris has already told you, there's an app on your phone that is stuck in a loop. As you discovered killing foreground processes did not resolve the problem. One trick that sometimes resolves this is to let the battery run down until the phone shuts off and will not restart. Then charge to 100%.

Do apps run in the background?

Do apps run in the background? And to turn them off, do you double click home button then press and hold on an app (at the bottom of the screen now), then "delete"? Or does that merely take the app off the "multitasking" list? Will this improve battery life?

How do i turn off apps running in the background with the new upgrade?

how do i turn off apps running in the background with the new upgrade?

They changed it a bit, but you can still close apps. Double click the Home button to pull up the currently running apps. Side scroll over to the app you want to close, then swipe up on the app *window* (not the icon at the bottom).

Do apps running in the background drain battery, slow down performance, or use cellular data?

I have heard that if you don't kill the apps running in the background, they will drain your battery, slow your other apps down, and could be using your data without any warning. I've looked all over the place for a definitive answer to this, but different people and websites provide conflicting responses and I haven't found any useful information regarding this issue directly from Apple. If anyone knows whether or not having apps constantly running in the background is harmful in anyway (and has a credible resource to back up their claim) let me know and provide a link to the answer if possible.

What do you mean 'running in the background'? Something that is 'running' will definitely use battery, nothing runs on air or whatever. If an app uses data while it's 'running' then it will use data. Why do you need a link, it's common sense isn't it? Slow the phone down? That I can't say definitively, but it stands to reason that it will.

Now that I downloaded the new iPad update, how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

in iOS 7, double click the Home Button (the round one on the front).
