How to Delete Opened Apps on iPhone
In the fast-paced digital world, our iPhones are often filled with multiple apps running simultaneously. This can lead to slower performance and battery drain. If you’re wondering how to delete opened apps on your iPhone, you’ve come to the right place. Deleting opened apps not only frees up memory but also helps in managing your device’s performance efficiently. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
Step 1: Access the App Switcher
To delete opened apps on your iPhone, you first need to access the App Switcher. There are two ways to do this:
1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen on an iPhone 8 or earlier. On iPhone X or later, swipe up from the bottom left or right corner of the screen and then pause briefly.
2. Alternatively, you can press and hold the Side button (or Volume button on iPhone 8 or earlier) and then swipe up.
Step 2: Find the App You Want to Close
Once you’re in the App Switcher, you’ll see a grid of app previews. Scroll through the grid to find the app you want to close. Each app preview shows the app’s icon and the last thing you were doing in that app.
Step 3: Close the App
To close the app, simply swipe up on its preview. You’ll see a small “X” appear at the top of the app preview. Swipe up on the “X” to close the app.
Step 4: Repeat for Other Apps
If you want to close more apps, continue swiping up on their previews and closing them. You can close as many apps as you like in this manner.
Step 5: Exit the App Switcher
Once you’ve closed all the apps you want to delete, you can exit the App Switcher by swiping down from the top of the screen or pressing the Side button (or Volume button on iPhone 8 or earlier).
Additional Tips
1. You can force close an app by pressing and holding its preview until the “X” appears. This is useful if you’re having trouble closing an app normally.
2. If you want to close all opened apps at once, you can do so by pressing and holding the Side button (or Volume button on iPhone 8 or earlier) and then swiping up on the screen.
3. It’s important to note that closing apps in the App Switcher doesn’t delete them from your iPhone. If you want to delete an app permanently, you’ll need to go to the App Store and uninstall it.
By following these simple steps, you can easily delete opened apps on your iPhone and improve your device’s performance. Happy multitasking!
