I find that the app switcher comes in very handy when I'm using my most
commonly used app such as the Bard Reading app, the texting app, and the
telephone app. Even if apps are on different pages of my iPhone and I only
have 7 pages with the seventh screen only holding 2, that it's easy to just
open the app switcher and choose my app from that. The name app switcher
suggests that this is the way to get at the most used apps you have.
When I want to save battery power, I'll empty the switcher and kill
Bluetooth and WI-FI if their not needed.

Alan

I like the 3 finger swipe up to close apps since that prevents me from
accidentally closing an app that I didn't want to close. I know I
could always go to a home screen and open it again, but that can also
be an inconvenience at times.

I don't find the method you describe to be much faster than the three
finger swipe up. I just bring up the App Switcher, swipe right once to
make sure I'm on the app immediately to the right of the home object and
then just swipe up with three fingers. Most of the time for me the focus
moves to the next app, so I can just swipe up with three fingers as many
times as I have apps. Occasionally, the focus flops back over to the
home object, and I have to swipe right again, so obviously in this case,
your method would be faster, but this is the exception in my case and
not the rule. Just my $0.02.

The 3-finger swipe up is one way. A much faster way especially if you are
closing a number of apps is to find the first app next to the Home area,
swipe up or down with one finger so Voiceover will say "Close" followed
by
the app name. Now double tap to close the app. This is like the action
rotor
in mail or messages, a single finger swipe up or down toggles between
"Close" and "Activate".
The nice thing is that the rotor stays on Close so as each app
disappears,
the next one slides over into that spot and you can just continue to
double
tap to remove apps.
Even faster is to flick the rotor to Close, then put your finger roughly
in
the middle of the screen to touch the app to the right of Home, then hold
your finger on the screen and split tap. With each split tap you are
removing an app and the next one will slide in under your finger. You can
split tap quite fast and close all your apps very rapidly.
One thing to keep in mind is that if you accidently touch the Home image
then your rotor resets itself to the default which is Activate item. This
means if you touch Home and then swipe to or touch another app and double
tap it, you will switch to that app.
Lastly, instead of a 3-finger swipe up you can also perform the
pass-through
gesture which is a double tap and hold. Then without releasing the screen
do
a swipe up with 1 finger to close the app you are on. This basically
mimicks
how a sighted person closes apps by touching and swiping up with one
finger.

Sieghard

You need to use a 3 finger swipe up for each app you want to close.
Flick
right for each app that's opened for VO to announce it, use a 3 finger
flick
up to close it.

I am using an iPad and when I do the one finger flick up nothing happens.
I
know I used to delete that app in the app switcher with this method For
some reason now when I go to the app switcher and do a single finger
flick
up nothing happens. Any other suggestions or I am I doing something
wrong?
Ed.

Do a one finger flick up until it says close app. Then double tap. From
then
on you can just double tap until all you see is home.

something then just tap the screen and it would delete apps every time
you
tap the screen.
For the life of me I can't remember how to do it. Can anyone remind
this old geezer how to do this.
Thanks in advance
