How to Turn Off a Multitasked App
- 1). Double-click your device's "Home" button. The "Home" button is the round button under your device's touchscreen. Double-clicking it opens a row of icons that represent the apps currently running on your device.
- 2). Touch the row of icons and don't remove your finger until a white minus sign on a red background appears next to each icon.
- 3). Touch the minus sign next to the icon of the app that you wish to completely close. When you have closed all the apps you want to turn off, simply touch another part of the screen to return to your device's "Home" menu.
