As we know, iOS 7 is now released and available to all for various iOS devices. If you’ve been using it for some time, then you probably already know how to close an app in iOS 7. Just like the old iOS versions, you can double click the Home button, but instead of just icons, you’ll be able to see the preview of the apps too.

iOS 7 comes with a new and improved way

Previously, you could long press the app to go into jiggle mode and then close the apps. Now, that was a long process, and that’s why iOS 7 comes with a new and improved way to close apps.

iOS 7

In iOS 7, you need to double-click the Home button, put your finger on an app preview thumbnail and swipe it upwards. Voila, that would close the app instantly. This works great but what if you want to close up to three apps at once? Just place your three fingers on each app and swipe it upwards. Well done, you just closed three apps in one go. Now that the apps are closed, you can use the full power of your device.

Here’s a video that depicts how easily you can close multiple apps in iOS 7.
