What should you do to quickly close an app using the swipe-up method?

To quickly close an app using the swipe-up method, the most effective approach is to swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the app switcher until all the open apps are displayed. Once you see the apps, tapping the red circle at the top-left corner of the app card corresponds to closing that specific app.

This method is efficient because it allows you to identify the apps currently running and selectively close just the one you want. The red circle serves as a visual cue that clearly indicates which app will be closed when tapped. This process helps in efficiently managing open applications, ensuring that users can maintain optimal device performance.

Other methods, while they may involve some interaction with the app switcher, do not directly leverage the fastest approach to close an app. For instance, simply swiping up and holding until all apps jiggle does not lead to closing actions; it might suggest rearranging the apps instead. Tapping the app you want to close doesn’t initiate a closing action, and searching for the app to close it goes against the quicker method of direct selection. Therefore, using the red circle to close an app is the streamlined technique for managing your open applications quickly.
