But if an iOS app misbehaves, it\u2019s easy to force the app to close. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Only_Close_Apps_if_They_Malfunction\"><\/span>Only Close Apps if They Malfunction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before we start, it\u2019s important to know that iPhone 13\u2019s operating system, Apple\u2019s iOS, does a great job at automatically handling system resources. So you don\u2019t need to manually force an app to close unless the app becomes unresponsive or glitchy.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s temping to \u201cclean house\u201d by closing your suspended apps on a regular basis, doing so can actually slow down your iPhone and hurt your battery life. That\u2019s because the next time you launch an app, the app has to completely reload from scratch. It\u2019s slower and uses more CPU cycles, which drains your iPhone\u2019s battery.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Force_an_App_to_Close_on_iPhone_13\"><\/span>How to Force an App to Close on iPhone 13<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To close an app on your iPhone 13, you\u2019ll need to launch the app switcher screen. To do so, swipe upward from the bottom edge of the screen and pause near the middle of the screen, then lift your finger.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-774239\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/iphone_launch_app_switcher_2.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"To launch the app switcher, swipe upward from the bottom edge of the screen and stop in the middle, then lift your finger.\" width=\"650\" height=\"500\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>When the app switcher screen appears, you\u2019ll see a gallery of thumbnails that represent all the apps currently open or suspended on your iPhone. Swipe through them left or right to browse through the apps.<\/p>\n<p>When you locate the thumbnail of the app you want to close, quickly flick the thumbnail upward with your finger, toward the top edge of the screen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-774240\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/iphone_swipe_upward.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"In iPhone app switcher, swipe upward on the app thumbnails to close the apps.\" width=\"648\" height=\"486\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The thumbnail will disappear, and the app will be forced to close. The next time you launch the app, it will reload completely. You can repeat this with as many apps as you\u2019d like on the app switcher screen.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re still having trouble with an app after forcing it to close, try restarting your iPhone 13. You can also perform a system update or update the app itself. And finally, if you need to force an app to close on an iPad, a similar technique works there as well. Good luck!<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Close and Restart iPhone and iPad Apps<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
