How do I force close apps on an iPhone or iPad?

It is recommended that you force close out your apps and clear your cache regularly on a mobile device. This can also help to clear up any issues with apps working slow, or not properly. 

 
 

To Force Close Apps, please follow the instructions below.

1. Double-tap the Home button.

2. Swipe through the list of apps until you find the app you wish to close.

3. Swipe the app up to close it.

 
 

Please note that you may need to restart your device as well for these changes to fully take effect.
