How To: Close Two, No Three, Apps at the Same Time in iOS 7 (VIDEO)

If you’ve been using iOS7 for the week it’s been available, you probably already know how to close an app. Double-click the Home button, and you’ll see the apps laid out in the multitasking center. Simply put your finger on an app, and swipe upward. Boom! The app is closed.

Well, did you know that you can close 2 apps at once? Just place two fingers on the screen, one on each app, and swipe upward. MEGA BOOM! You just closed two apps at once.

We just cut your app closing time and effort in half! The MacTrast time savers, that’s us!

Thanks for the tip from my lovely wife, Julie Hauk. (@juliebug0859 on Twitter.)

(UPDATE) – If you don’t have really fat fingers, like the guys here at MacTrast, you can do three at once. Looks like three is the limit on both iPad and iPhone. Let us know if you’ve pulled off more. Turning your device to Landscape view helps.
