If you have recently updated your Apple device(s) to iOS 7 you might be confused about the new procedure for closing a running app. It really isn’t that difficult a task, but it also isn’t one that can easily be “figured out” by trial and error.

1 – Double-tap the Home button to display a horizontal row of icons representing all of the currently running apps.
2 – Swipe to either the left or right until you find the app you wish to close.
