Share This:

The iPad Pro is a powerful tablet device that has taken the world by storm. With its larger screen size, faster processor, and improved software, it’s no wonder why so many people are choosing to use an iPad Pro instead of a traditional laptop or desktop computer. But with all of its features, there are also some things that may seem a little confusing, like how to close apps on an iPad Pro.

To close apps on your iPad Pro, you firt need to open the app switcher. This can be done by double-clicking the Home button on the front of your device (or swiping up from the bottom edge of the display if you have an iPad Pro with Face ID). Once in the app switcher, you’ll see all of your currently running apps in a list. To close one of them, simply swipe it away from left to right until it disappears offscreen. You can also press and hold on an app icon until a red minus sign appears; tapping this will close out the app as well.

It’s important to note that closing apps on an iPad Pro isn’t always necessary. iOS is designed to keep recently used apps running in order to save battery life and memory usage; only if you want to free up some RAM by closing out applications should you do so. And if you need help managing your applications and understanding which ones are open in the background, don’t forget to check out Apple’s Activity Monitor app for iOS devices!

That’s all there is to it – after reading this blog post, you now know how to close apps on an iPad Pro! Whether you just need extra RAM or simply want to tidy up your home screen a bit, now you know exactly what steps need to be taken in order to get it done quickly and easily.
