How to Clear Recent Apps on iPhone

Have you ever wondered how to close all open apps on your iPhone? Whether you have an iPhone 10 or 11, or an older iPhone with a home button, it’s easy to clear recent apps. In this post, we will show you how to do just that.

First, it’s important to note that Apple only recommends closing apps if an app fails or you absolutely have to close it. Apple leaves apps open in the background to improve performance, so keep that in mind before closing all your apps.

For iPhone 11 users, start from the home screen. At the bottom of the screen, swipe up partway to view all the currently open apps. If you want to close an app, simply click and drag it up. However, if you have multiple apps open, it’s more efficient to use three fingers to swipe up and close three apps at once. You can even try to close four apps at once if you have enough fingers on the screen.

For iPhone 8 and earlier, double-click on the home button to view all the currently open apps. Just like on the iPhone 11, swipe up to close an app. You can also swipe up with multiple fingers to close multiple apps at once.

Remember, you don’t need to close apps regularly on your iPhone to keep it running well. But if you do want to clear recent apps, these simple steps can help.
