Multitasking in iOS 7

[Taco50]

I'm not fully understanding it. When I open apps I still have to wait for them to load. I thought this wouldn't need to happen anymore. Is it because developers need to update apps? Can anyone clarify how multitasking works?

You have to give apps permission to load in the background. Settings > general > background app refresh.

I believe that there are two questions being asked here.

1. Are you connected to wifi? Sometimes apps like twitter, Facebook, etc. won't load very promptly if you're just on 3G.

2. Multitasking is just two quick clicks away to the home button. From here you can easily switch between apps and also swipe up on page (if running iOS 7) and this basically just turns them off. It's good to do this every now and then.

Can the Apple podcast app be updated so it could download subscriptions without opening the app?
