The iPhone X, with its stunning design and innovative features, has captured the hearts of many tech enthusiasts. With the recent update to iOS 12, Apple has introduced new functionalities and improvements to make the user experience even better. One common question that comes up for iPhone X users is how to properly close apps on the device running iOS 12.
Closing apps on the iPhone X in iOS 12 is slightly different from previous models due to the lack of a physical home button. However, Apple has made it intuitive and straightforward for users to manage their open applications. To close an app on your iPhone X running iOS 12, follow these simple steps:
1. Start by navigating to the home screen of your iPhone X. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause slightly in the middle of the display. This action will bring up the app switcher, showing all the open apps on your device.
2. To close an app, swipe left or right to browse through the open applications. Once you've located the app you want to close, swipe up on the app preview. This gesture will remove the app from the list of open applications and effectively close it.
3. You can also close multiple apps simultaneously on the iPhone X in iOS 12. In the app switcher view, use multiple fingers to swipe up on different app previews at the same time. This action will close all the selected apps simultaneously, helping you quickly manage your open applications.
4. If you prefer a quicker way to close apps on your iPhone X, you can use the gesture-based approach. Simply swipe all the way up from the bottom of the screen and hold your finger there for a second. This action will enter the app switcher, allowing you to swipe through and close apps with ease.
5. Remember, closing apps on your iPhone X in iOS 12 is helpful for managing system resources and ensuring smooth performance. However, iOS is designed to manage apps efficiently in the background, so you don't need to close apps regularly unless they are unresponsive or causing issues.
By following these steps, you can effectively close apps on your iPhone X running iOS 12. Apple continues to refine the user experience with each software update, making it easier for users to interact with their devices.
