Open, close, switch apps
Open and close apps

to worry about leaving apps open.
To close one app, tap to return to your home screen. Or, if you're using the gesture navigation, swipe
up from the bottom of the screen.
To close all apps, touch . (Or, if you're using gesture navigation, drag up from the bottom of the home
screen, hold, then let go.) In your recent apps, swipe all the way right and touch Clear all.
