what's up guys David here and today I'm gonna show you a little-known trick to closing all the apps on your iPhone at the same time now those of you who have Android or have had Android in the past you know that a lot of Android phones have an option to to simply press a button and it closes all of your apps instead of having to do it one by one well no such option actually exists on the iPhone and that's the reason for today's video so prior to the trick you only have two options one is you can swipe away apps one by one like that which depending on how many apps you have opened up it can take a really long time and the second option is of course to restart the phone so you power it off power back on and technically those actually cleared out of RAM which again is time consuming now I don't often close my apps on my iPhone because usually iOS does a really good job at handling them and actually makes the phone go faster so for example I have to skate here open clicking on it you can see it opened up right away now if I was to close that app right there and then reopen it again you can see it takes longer so why would you want to slow your phone down the second thing is also this affects battery life as the processor has to reload the app and because it has to reload the app it uses battery to do that so you're actually wasting battery life as well I honestly wouldn't close my apps if you don't have to but there are certain situations where it makes sense without any further ado let's figure out how to actually do it so it's actually really simple all you have to do is press and hold on the power button here and you wait until you get the little slide to power off screen now you don't actually touch the screen you actually just press and hold on the home button so I'll go ahead and do that and hold it for a few seconds until the phone takes you back to the home screen and there you go alright so just to show you that it work I'll go ahead and have all these games opened up in the background so I have smash it open I have to skate open I've got Angry Birds open as you can see and I have got asphalt date open so I'll go ahead and do the trick again press and hold on the power button press and hold on the home button and then just wait and voila so now I'll go ahead and jump back into asphalt 8 as you can see the app is reloading same thing goes for true scape again has to reload the app now one thing I do have to warn you about is it does show up and the recent Apple is so when you do the trick to close all the apps it's still gonna show up here if you have OCD it's not necessarily going to take care of that problem it acts more or less like a restart when you restart your phone the apps still technically show up even though they've been cleared out of RAM parts I have another tip for you guys you guys probably already know this one but just in case you don't if you do have OCD and for whatever reason you want to close all the apps and get them out of the recent app list you can do so a lot quicker than one doing it one by one with three fingers so what I like to do is I line up three apps on the screen like this so I could have three of my fingers fit on screen and then I just swipe up so am i doing it nope there you go so it's not the easiest thing to do but once you do it you'd actually close your apps a lot faster so that is pretty much it's for me in this video that's how you close all of your apps with just one step and a little bonus tip for you guys you can swipe away apps three at a time instead of just one but uh if you liked this video give it a big thumbs up to show your support subscribe for more tech videos just like this and as always I'll see you in the very next episode
