by AnnaSherry Updated on 2021-05-27 / Update for iPhone Tips

When we open an app in iPhone 12 and other iOS 12 devices, it remains inside the memory until we force remove it from the memory. It might not be clear to you if it is necessary to close the unwanted apps and remove them from memory. So, in this article, we will explain you how to force stop an App on iPhone 12 Pro and 12 series.

There are different ways to force close an app on iPhone 12 Pro and 12 series, we will describe them later but before lets answer the following question which may come in your mind.

Question: Does Closing Apps Save Battery?

As a conclusion, the answer will be YES closing apps save battery. If the apps are not wiped out of memory, they remain in the app switcher of iPhone 12 and other iOS devices.

So, to keep an app in the app switcher, the operating system needs to keep the current snapshot of the app, which helps to continue the app right from where it was left, it reduces the power consumption as compared to completely reload the app from the storage. However, we can say that, the app residing in the app switcher uses very less or no mobile resources.

How to Force Close Running Apps on iPhone 12 Series from The App Switcher

App switcher keeps the track of the apps which are not in front of the user but running in the background, so that the user can continue them right from where they left it. If the apps which are running in background and kept in app switcher are no longer needed by you, it is better to force close them. Follow the steps below to remove running apps on iPhone 12 Series from the app switcher.

• Swipe up from the bottom of the iPhone 12 screen and pause for a little moment until the app card pops up. In the app card, you will see all the apps which are currently residing inside the memory.
• Swipe left or right to move to the app card which you want to force close or remove from memory.

• Swipe up the card to force close it.

Does app switcher work in both portrait and landscape mode on iPhone 12?

Yes, the app switcher can show all the apps running in the background both in portrait and landscape mode, with the only condition that the app must support that orientation as well. For example, if an app only runs in portrait mode, and if you open app switcher in landscape mode, that app will not be shown in the cards.

How to close multiple apps at the same time from App switcher on iPhone 12?

You can remove more than one apps from the app switcher at the same time by placing your fingers on the respective apps card and swiping up. For example, to remove two apps, place two fingers on the two cards and swipe up.

When we open an app in iPhone 12 and other iOS 12 devices, it remains inside the memory until we force remove it from the memory.

• The first you need to do is to enable assistive touch in iPhone 12 and other members of 12 series.

  • Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Touch > Assistive Touch and enable Assistive Touch.
  • You can ask Siri to enable Assistive Touch voice command.
• Once you have assistive touch enabled on your iPhone 12, go to settings by tapping on gear like icon from the home screen apps.

• Inside settings, go to General > Shut Down.

• A power off slider will pop up. Do not slide the slider. Tap the assistive touch button and then tap and hold the virtual home button until the lock screen appears.
