I been trying to get out of this habit after switching from Android to iOS a few months ago. The battery has been better

I have been championing this since iOS4 and over the past decade and a half have shared with countless people to stop force quitting. This is probably due to my iPhone X being so old but this is no longer true for me. The few apps that iOS does leave running dramatically slows down my phone. It's a night and day difference soon as I force quit those still-running apps.

The app switcher is one of the most common ways I navigate on the phone, so I'm diligent about quitting apps from an organization standpoint...I don't want an app I'm not currently/soon using cluttering up my "list" of choices when switching. But there are 2-3 that are almost always open and never quit. But I start getting annoyed when there's more than like 5 in the switcher so unless it's really killing my phone I'm going to keep quitting. 🤣

I only force close apps if it is running in the background, I’ve also had apps in the background basically cause my battery to drain really fast. Other than that I’ll leave all my apps in the roller and access when I need to. Good video good job like always, like to watch what you create.

[Cjmboo]

[anoldslowhorse]

[TimWesley]

I don’t close my apps but as far as background refresh, i have set to wifi only and most of my apps, well majority of them are off. Do you suggest that i turn on all the apps in background refresh??

[pushbikemxvlogs]

So should I not close my iPhone apps forever? Or when should I close it?

[faithfueledhealth]

Vindication!! Lol My daughter constantly nags me about keeping app windows open. Sharing ➡️

[kmannewyork]

[jamespowell]

[eduardomunhoz]

Hello, just got here, great content!

I have a question, is that the reason why on mac the close button only closes windows, not applications?

[robertshade]

How to clear unused or obsolete apps off iPhone ?Also I notice if I don’t clear off background apps like Tagged or Twitter or Face make phone lag and buffering.

[oswaldcroaker]

What about driving apps that use GPS long after driving is done?

[coderkuma]

I understand the thoughts here but I will always do this or even force quit things.
