I just picked up an X, and I’m actually surprised that the lack of a home button has been as easy to get used to as it has been for me.

That being said, I don’t like the fact that I have to long press and then hit x’s to close apps in the app switcher.

Is there a reason I don’t know about for why it can’t be programmed to just flick up on the tile to close he app? I’m curious to see if I missed the reason it was designed as it is.

Oh and I apologize if this has been covered. I searched but didn’t come up with anything, but that could be because I didn’t search the right words haha.
