Hi Donald and Anna, On an iPhone as old as the 3GS flicking up with 3 fingers won’t work. The old way was to double tap and hold on an app once you are in the app switcher and then you double tap each app to close it, it’s basically like deleting an app on the home screen. I can’t remember in what version of iOS Apple introduced the flicking up method, but it was probably iOS 6 or something like that, certainly beyond what the 3GS can run.

Roberts Sent: Friday, February 24, 2017 11:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: App switcher question Thanks much for your response, Anna. For some inexplicable reason, it isn't closing the app on my 3 GS. I just checked and found that this thing is running IOS version 6.1.6 which is the latest version of IOS I can run on it. Again, thanks. Don Roberts On 2/24/2017 11:27 AM, Woody Anna Dresner wrote: Hi Don, The process hasn't changed except that the order of apps is reversed. Flick to the app you want to close, and flick up with three fingers. HTH, Anna On Feb 24, 2017, at 1:16 PM, Donald L.

I can't recall what to do after I get into the app switcher to close out some running applications. I should have checked before writing this, but I think it is running IOS 8 something. At any rate, if any remembers how to close an app in the app switcher for older versions of IOS, please respond. Thanks in advance.
