Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Normally_You_Dont_Need_to_Close_Apps\"><\/span>Normally, You Don\u2019t Need to Close Apps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unless an app is malfunctioning, you typically don\u2019t need to manually force iPhone apps to close. That\u2019s because the iPhone operating system (iOS) handles system resources automatically. Doing so regularly can slow down your iPhone experience.<\/p>\n<p>Still, there are times when an app freezes, hangs, or misbehaves. In those cases, it\u2019s OK to force the app to close. When you relaunch the app, it will be forced to reload completely, which might solve temporary problems caused by bugs.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Force_an_App_to_Close_on_iPhone_SE\"><\/span>How to Force an App to Close on iPhone SE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To close an app on an iPhone SE, you\u2019ll need to launch the app switcher first. The app switcher is a special screen that lets you switch between open apps and also close them.<\/p>\n<p>To open the app switcher, quickly press the home button on your iPhone SE twice. (The home button is the large circular button just below the screen.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-780575\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/iphone_se_press_home_button_color.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Press the Home button on the iPhone SE\" width=\"650\" height=\"494\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you do it correctly, the app switcher will open, and you\u2019ll see images representing the apps you currently have open (or suspended) on your iPhone SE.<\/p>\n<p>Using your finger, swipe left and right through the app thumbnails until you locate the thumbnail of the app you\u2019d like to close. To close the app, flick its thumbnail upward (toward the top of the screen) with your finger.<\/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. You can close as many apps as you\u2019d like using this method, but remember that it\u2019s not necessary unless an app is malfunctioning.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re still having trouble with an app after you relaunch it, try updating the app using the App Store. Also, restarting your iPhone SE can solve many temporary problems. For larger bug fixes, see if there are any iPhone system updates available. Good luck!<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Update 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.
