How do I clear apps after double-tapping the home button?

This is in relation to iOS 7.

I found the answer here: http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/completely-close-out-running-applications-ipho ne-ios-7-save-battery-0147375/
you still double tap the home button. There is a preview screen above the programs icon. swipe up, and the app is removed.

    My home screen icon get misligned when I switch between apps. also subway surfer behave strangley as in there is a graphical glitch

    I have no idea what Subway Surfer should look like so I wouldn't know if there was a graphical glitch in your screenshot or not, but I assume that the brown figure on the left side should, have real definition in the features and details in the clothing rather than just look like a smeary brown blob. That's just a guess on my part.
    I understand that you paid good money for the device and that it should not be doing what you are experiencing. I would start with the basic troubleshooting steps - moving all the way up to a complete restore of the iOS - and if they don't work, then you will have to contact Apple if you want resolution to the problem. They must have an authorized repair facility that you could send the device to if needed.
    Restart, reset, restore.

  • How do I stop previews of recent activity appearing when I double tap the home button

    HHow do I stop previews of recent activity from appearing when I double tap the home button

    As others have mentioned, you are seeing the Multitasking bar which is a feature of iOS:
    Understand multitasking and background activity on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If left alone long enough and after running many apps over a period of time, iOS will eventually close off the app(s) that have not been used for the longest period of time to gain back memory to be used to run other apps that are currently not in Multitasking. There's no way to automatically prevent an app from appearing in the Multitasking bar nor any way to shut them all down at once. You can easily close them off manually as needed by swiping up on the app's displayed screen shot (NOT the lower icon). Multitasking is by design and cannot be changed/modified.

  • TS1702 When we double tap the home button, only about half of the icons appear at the bottom.  How do we get them all to appear?

    WHen we double tap the home button, only about half of the apps appear.  How do we get them all o appear?

    If an app freezes on you - you can try force quitting the app.
    Force quit the app by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then hold down on the home button until the app quits. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • When I double tap the home button and delete open apps, they will just re appear if I double tap home again,...

    I always delete my open apps but since i did the lates update the apps wont delete they will just re appear when i double tap home again,.. Whyyy??

    For clarification purpose:
    You start by double clicking the Home button to reveal the screen as shown above. You then swipe upwards on the App Previews to clear all recently used Apps and end up with a screen like below?
    You then tap the Home button to return to normal screen. Then you immediately double tap the Home button again to see all the recently used Apps as shown in the first picture? If this isn't the procedure you are following, please explain your process, and exactly what you are seeing. Attaching screen shots will help.

  • HT1688 when you double tap the home button to go back to your other apps are those apps always running and using cellular data even if I am not currently using them?  I thought it froze them and didn't use data other that a select few apps like Facebook,

    when you double tap the home button to go back to your other apps are those apps always running and using cellular data even if I am not currently using them?  I thought it froze them and didn't use data other that a select few apps like Facebook, email, etc.  Also I always select no when I download an app and it wants me to have those push notifications.  Because that would mean that I would have to delete my apps after everytime I just them from that bar and that would be very annoying and just stupid.  Or maybe apps do use data and it's just a big scheme to make everyone go over on their data plans.

  • I updated my 3GS to iOS5, but when i double tap the home button, it doesn't show the camera app, just the ipod controls?

    I badly need help, i just updated my 3GS to iOS5, but i don't see any difference, i don't have the new features that they're talking about. When i double tap the home button, it just shows the iPod controls and no camera app shows up.

    My iPhone 3GS is still on iOS3 but I think you could already change what double tapping the Home button can do before iOS5, by tapping "Settings" -> "Home".  That may have changed in iOS5 but I don't think it should have.

  • Just noticed that when I close my mail app by double clicking the home button and swiping up it dies something weird. After doing this when I open my mail, instead of showing all my mailboxes it automatically opens one of them instead. Anyone know why?

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

  • HT5137 Words with Friends has frozen. After double clicking the home button, swiping or pressing the icon does not bring up the minus sign.

    On my IPad Words With Friends has frozen. I have double clicked on the home button and identified the WWF icon. When I press and hold or swipe vertically the icon darkens but does not shake or bring up the minus sign. Any suggestions?

    Force close apps
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • Double-tapping the home button locks the phone

    iPhone 4s, still running ios 7.1.2 because I don't want my phone bogged down even though I'd love to see some of ios 8's features.
    This has happened a few times in the last few months.  I'll have an app up.  I'll double-tap the home button so that I can swipe/close that app.  The screen does not change.  All keys/screen tapping becomes locked -- nothing I do does anything.
    I'll press the top power button and the screen goes black and then stays black - nothing I do will bring it back.
    I end up having to hold the home and power buttons and reset my phone.
    This happens from various apps -- not the same one every time.
    Anyone else?

  • Does double tapping the home button ...

    makes you feel like you're about to break the button?
    I do. The home button seems so weak that the more I double tap the home button it's more likely to break real fast.
