Quit IPhone X Apps Faster

First, you need to swipe up from the bottom edge of the display and pause so that you can bring up iPhone X's app-switching interface. Next, you have to swipe to discover the app you want to force-quit and then tap and hold its card before minus sign appears—only then can you actually kill it.

Thankfully, it is possible to shorten this convoluted process a lttle bit.

How to force-quit the app you're using

If you're currently utilizing an app, it is possible to force-quit becoming follows:

1) Swipe up in the bottom edge with the iPhone X display and pause showing the app switcher.

TIP: Alternatively, swipe right from your bottom left corner from the display in a slight upward angle or swipe up and also over in one continuous motion as a way to enter the app switcher.

This undocumented gesture takes some time getting used to, but do give it a shot. Once you master it, you can access the app switcher in your iPhone X faster than before

2) With the app switcher activated, let go of the finger then tap and hold the app card until the red minus sign appears on all of the cards. Without releasing your finger, drag the card upwards in one continuous motion to force-quit the app immediately.

This method doesn't require that you let go from the finger following the minus sign appears.

As we've said many times before , there is typically no reason to force-quit an iOS app unless it misbehaves badly or drains your battery excessively. As Apple itself acknowledges , force-quitting apps that function properly doesn't save battery.

How to force-quit multiple apps at once

The old app switcher let you force-quit multiple apps at the same time.

Here's the way to do that in your iPhone X.

1) Swipe up through the bottom edge of the iPhone X display and pause showing the app switcher.

2) Tap and retain the card from the first app you want to kill prior to the minus sign appears within the upper-left corner of all the cards within the app-switching interface.

3) Without releasing the finger, support two additional fingers on any adjacent cards you want to dismiss, then swipe up simultaneously.

That's how you force-quit approximately three apps immediately.

This works both in portrait and landscape mode.

To improve your productivity further, you're wholeheartedly recommended to memorize a secret gesture for faster app switcher access on iPhone X (swipe right from the bottom left corner from the display with a slight angle) and another one for summoning Reachability easier (swipe up an inch or so through the bottom edge before swiping down without lifting the finger).

What everyone forgets about including Apple will be the privacy issue, I do not lock my phone and if i give it to someone to have a look at some pic's they can roll thru all background apps and discover what I have open.

Apple has thought of this. If you enable Guided Access” whenever you hand your iPhone up to someone they'll only be able to examine what you suggest to them and not leave the app and even interact with it in case you set the settings properly. Guided Access come in accessibility and possesses been out for a few years now.

Steve Jobs: in case you need to print out the user manual they blew it

I think the manual, along with tips needs to be on top of the iPhone, not below it, enclosed in small package.

Technically faster although not fast @ all. Issues similar to this is what has me missing home button and/or jailbreaking the most.
