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.

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.

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.

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.

Where did the iPod shortcut button go when you double click the home button and scroll to the left?

After upgrading to iOS 4.3.2 I have noticed that when I double click the home button the multitasking tray pops up when you scroll to the left the ipod shortcut is no longer there, it has been replaced by a safari shortcut. Is this right??

Reset
Have you tried rebooting the device? Hold down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. If this fails, connect it to a power source and try again holding them for at least 20 seconds.
Reset Home Screen
Reset All Settings
Reset all settings on Device. On your Device, open Settings, then navigate to “General” in the left-hand pane. Scroll down and tap Reset, then select “Reset All Settings.” This will delete any stored WiFi passwords and Appleid login information, but can result in a more stable function. On the final screen you will restore your backup or “Setup as new device” to keep current info intact.

When I double clicked the home button my screen changed to what looks almost like a picture negative (muted colouring) I turned it off and on but noo luck. How do I get back to my usual screen colours? Thanks for your help!).

First time using the Apple Support Community. Trying to reset my screen so colors don't look like what can only be described as a picture negative. I recall double clicking the home button when this happened before but as that didn't work this time would be grateful for some help. Many thanks!

So when you triple tap the home button then it goes to negative colors, it is simple to go back. All you have to do is triple tab the home button again and it will go back if it doesnt then, go to Settings>General>Accessibility>And then switch off Invert Colors

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.

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.

I have my iPhone locked and I don't want the music controls to pop up when I double click the home button. Does anyone know how to make it stop?

I have my iPhone locked and I don't want the music controls to pop up when I double click the home button. Does anyone know how to make it stop?

what exactly are you trying to accomplish here? i understand that you don't want to see the music status come up on your lock screen, but what are you trying to do by clicking your home button at all?

How can i enable my ipod so that when i double press the home button i can play music?

how can i enable my ipod touch so that when i double press the home button i can stop and start music?

After you double click the home button, Swipe the list of active apps to the right and you will see the music controls and the screen rotation lock.

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?

It's called Reachabilty.
