Swiping up on apps

[Chris Cook5]

Is it better to leave the apps alone in the background rather than swiping up on them to get rid of them in the background. What do you gurus think?

Leave it alone. Force closing and opening an app uses more battery than the other way around.

I think it only shows screenshots of the app in the recents?

yup yup

I often close them, if for no other reason that seeing all of them there increase my OCD. If I opened something like IMDB and know I am not using it again for 10-days I close it. I don't like seeing 40 items open on my phone. I never run lower than 60% on a busy day. So for me, they're gone!

Little bit off from the topic .... will my home button damaged if I clicked too many times (frequent switch up from one apps to apps - not fond of assistibe touch)

Anything is possible, but I have never seen that happen personally.

It's tested to last for a very very long time. If you press it with normal force there is nothing to be afraid of.

Closing apps for no reason makes no sense. I only close out an app if it misbehaves. Launching a closed app takes more resources than if you had left it open. The reason they are there in multitasking is for...well multitasking! Lol

I open the official twitter app maybe once every week to three weeks. If I do open it, I generally swipe it closed when I'm done. The same goes for the Facebook Messenger app (which usually happens when i accidentally press the stupid icon in the Facebook app.) I swipe that stupid thing closed every time. (I keep the app because, once in a great while, somebody actually sends me a message.) The Google+ app - same thing.

Other than that, it's rare that I swipe close an app from the multitask screen.

LOL! I kept Facebook closed a while when they were having so much problems with battery eating. Google+ wanted location services on all the time. I finally deleted it. Never liked it much anyways.

Leave them alone. When they're sitting there like that they're cached and in a suspended state. They do not use the battery or any system resources. Leave them there and allow the operating system to handle them the way Apple intended.

Would you swipe up after you get so many opened after while

No. Why would I? Most apps sitting in multitasking are not doing anything. The number makes no difference. I don't ever think about it. I rarely go to multitasking. Only when an app is misbehaving.
iOS manages that really well. You need do nothing.

Agreed. I swipe up when an app is acting funny but very rarely for any other reason.

 

[jianrong]

Same... only swipe up if an app run wild.

Yes, too many apps will make me dificult to switch app

You can still open the app from the home screen and, let's face it, you're not typically going to be switching between more than a couple of apps at any given time.

 

[Tartarus]

It's a way to preserve information of the app in the memory of the device. It's not a quick access solution

I only answer this question in one way now. If you want to leave them just running in the background, it's okay for the phone. If you like to get rid of them every once in a while, then that is also okay. Just comes down to preference.
