Hi Michelle, I can confirm what Christopher said, unless I close the app switcher by pressing the home button or by doing a scrub gesture or double tapping on the home icon in the app switcher it stays open indefinitely, well, of course if I leave it until the iPhone locks then it will also close. Is it possible that your 3-finger swipe could be interpreted as a scrub gesture somehow or that you accidently press the home button? You can also close apps the same way you delete emails, e.g. when you are on an app you can swipe up or down with one finger to change to "Delete", then double tap. Once you swiped down once it stays on delete so you can just double tap apps after you put it to delete once. The only exception is that if you ever get to the home icon in the app switcher and then swipe left again to get to more apps this will reset it and you would have to swipe down again to get to delete.

Like I said, I know this doesn't answer your question, but maybe there's something going on with your phone that you can address.
