On our Apple iOS devices, we unknowingly run more than a dozen apps at a time. Every time we open an app, it stays open unless we manually turn off our phone. With dozens of apps running, it can dramatically slow down the speed of your device and also effect the apps you are currently trying to use and run.

One recommendation we have here at PixelMags for users to fully enjoy the use of their applications, especially magazine applications, is to shut down the apps you have finished using. Closing down your apps will boost the speed and the performance of  your iOS device, which allows apps to run a whole lot better.

Here is how you close down an app.

1) Double tap the home button. (The only actual button you can press on the device)

2) Once you do that, you will notice four apps show up at the bottom of your screen.

3) Hold your finger or thumb down on one the apps at the bottom until the apps start shaking, and a red dot appears at the top of the app with a minus sign.

4) Click the minus sign of the apps that you want to close down.

5) Enjoy the swift speed of your Apple iOS device.
