How do I turn off apps on my ipad using ios 7?

I have double-clicked the home button to see what apps are running in the background but when I hold my finger over the app icon the "x" in the upper left corner of the icon doesn't appear.  I have rebooted the iPad but that doesn't help either.

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

  • How do I turn off apps running in the background on iOS7?

    I just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7.  How do I turn off apps running in the background? Double tapping the home button and turning each one off doesn't work on the updated iOS.

    Double click the Home button and "slide" the open apps 'UP" with your finger, they will disappear.

    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).

    Very few apps run in the background.  Those that do should have a  way to stop them from within the app.

    It appears that now, under IOS7 that you can't click/hold to get the apps to wiggle and then X them to turn them off.
    Correct:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.

  • How do you turn off apps in ios 7 to save battery?

    in old OS, you could turn off apps to save battery. how do you do it in new OS7?

    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.
    Also you can save on battery by turning of background app refresh from settings, as explained in this article .... http://nyacomputing.com/how-to-close-apps-in-ios-7-and-save-on-battery/

  • How do I turn off App Notifications

    Hi,  I was wanting to know how I would go about turning off App Notifications. I'm going abroad and I know that using data roaming can quickly mount up but one tip given is to disable your App notifications of updates/posts. For example my email App gives me frequent updates so I'd like to turn off App automatic updating until I chose to access it.  How would I go about doing that? 

    Better to restrict background usage of mobile data:- Go to Settings -> Data Usage -> tap on the triple dots on the top right corner of the screen -> Choose "Restrict background data" This will prevent any app from using mobile data unless you open it and ask for updates.

  • Just updated iphone to iSO 7 how to I turn off apps so battery doesn't run out?

    I just updated my iphone 4 to iSO 7 how do I shut off apps not to run out battery?

    I believe you are asking how to close your running apps. If so you will double tap the home button then swipe up on the apps. You can do two or three at a time as well to make this a faster process. Another thing you ca change for battery conserving is go t settings, general, background app refresh and turn off any apps that you don't need to keep running when your not on their screen. Foot reminders unless you use the on arrival option that one does not need to be on.
