As a Mac user, you might think that closing an app is as simple as clicking the “x” button located on the upper left-hand section of the app. However, this is not the case. In this tutorial, we will show you the proper way to close an app on your Mac.
Let’s use Safari as an example. If you open Safari and then decide to close it using the “x” button, you might notice that the app is not fully closed. If you look closely at the icon located at the bottom of your screen, you will see a dot just beneath it, indicating that the app is still open.
To fully close an app, you need to look right beside the Apple logo located on the upper left-hand section of your screen. You will see the name of the app you are using, which in this case is Safari. Click on it and then click “Quit Safari”. This will fully close the app, and you will notice that the dot beneath the icon is now gone.
It’s important to note that this process applies to all apps on your Mac, not just Safari. So, if you want to fully close an app, make sure to follow this process.
