Stop Swiping Up to Kill Your iPhone Apps

Many people with an iPhone (and that’s a lot of people) have the wrong idea about closing apps. And once you know why, it might change the way that you use your iPhone completely.

iPhone apps don’t need to be ‘killed’

All the time, I listen to people say that they close their iPhone apps when not in use with an upwards swipe in the app switcher (you know, the list of apps that appears if you double-tap the home button).

These people close their apps completely (rather than just exiting back to the home screen) in order to remove the app and stop it running, hopefully improving battery life in the process – as the phone has less to do, right?
