HT4623 How do I close apps running in the background....I have tried double clicking the home button and then the swiping up and it does not work???

I just updated my phone and can not close the running apps. Battery dying fast. I did try double clicking the home button but swiping up did not work??

With iOS 7, swiping the application thumbnail up the screen does close the app.

  • 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. 

    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/

  • HT4623 How do I close programs running in the background to speed up my phone?

    Downloads are very slow.  How do I speed up?

    You can close apps via the taskbar : double-click the home button to open the taskbar at the bottom of the iPhone's screen, then press and hold any of the apps on that taskbar for a second or two until they start to shake, tap the '-' to close them, and then click the home button to close the taskbar. But a lot of the apps that appear there won't be active, they will just be 'recently used'.
    In terms of speeding up downloads, what connection do you have ? If you are downloading via cellular and you are somewhere where you can only get a 2G connection then downloads will be slower than if you were in an area with better reception or if you were connected to a decent wifi network.

  • I am trying to down load apps from the app store but the system says my password does not work even though I just changed it

    I am trying to download an app from the app store but the ID apple gives me is old and out of date so how do I change the ID apple has on file?

    Its just Apple's system. They won't charge you so I wouldn't worry about giving them the billing information.

  • TS2446 how do I contact Apple support?  the phone number in UK does not work and the website loops

    I can't reset my security questions - it tells me they've sent the email to reset but no email arrives...  the support system loops all over the place and takes you back to where you start in the end - with no help ANYWHERE.  I looked up the Apple number for the UK and when it rings, it does so only once - then nothing.  I need my account unlocked and the ability to purchase items from itunes store with the gift cards I received.
    What a mess.  Where did the online chat go?  Where did ANY resemblence of customer support go??

  • With new phone download, how do you close applications running in the background? Used to push hold and delete.

    With new ph download how do you close apps running. In the background

    Obviously you didn't search the forum prior to your post as there have been a lot of posters with the same question. Double tap on the home button as usual. Scroll left or right to select the app that you want to close and swipe upward to close it. The iPhone ios7 user guide is available online from Apple support and from the ibook store on your phone.

  • HT201365 On this new ios7 update how do I kill apps running in the background now? I used to be able to double tap the home button

    On this new ios7 update how do I kill apps running in the background now? I used to be able to double tap the home button

    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.
