Android apps don\u2019t actually stop running when you return to the Home screen or switch to another app. And that\u2019s totally fine, you shouldn\u2019t close apps unless you really need to. We\u2019ll show you how to do that in case one is crashing, laggy, or just needs to be forced to quit.<\/p>\n

The only way to fully \u201cclose\u201d an Android app is to \u201cforce close\u201d it. This stops the app from running and closes all background services. You only need to do this if an app is unresponsive or misbehaving in some way. You do not need to close Android apps when you\u2019re done using them.<\/p>\n

First, we\u2019ll show you how to close an app in a less aggressive way. This method will close the app but not kill all the background services entirely. In most cases, this will solve your issues.<\/p>\n

Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause halfway up to show the recent apps.<\/p>\n

\"Swipe<\/p>\n

Now simply find the app you want to close and swipe up on it to dismiss the app.<\/p>\n

\"Swipe<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for the simple method!<\/p>\n

\u201cForce Closing\u201d an app requires a few more steps. First, open the Settings app on your device and navigate to the \u201cApps\u201d section.<\/p>\n

\"Go<\/p>\n

Find the app you\u2019d like to close. You may need to tap \u201cSee All Apps\u201d to view the full app list.<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

Now select \u201cForce Stop\u201d or \u201cForce Close.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

A confirmation screen will ask if you really want to force stop the app. Tap \u201cOK\u201d to finish.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it! The app and its background services will be killed. Most of the time this will fix any issues the app was having. If not, you can try rebooting the phone as well.<\/p>\n
