Force close an app, what happens when you try...

  1. On an iPhone X or later, or an iPad with iOS 12 or later, or iPadOS, from the Home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause slightly in the middle of the screen. ...
  2. Swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close.
  3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close the app.
