How To How to Close Apps on Galaxy S20 Ultra

[Staff]

Follow these steps to close apps on your Galaxy S20 Ultra:

1. Tap the 3 vertical lines in the bottom right of your screen
2. Locate the app you'd like to close by swiping left and right
3. Swipe up on the app you'd like to close
4. Alternatively, tap "Close All" if you'd like to close all apps

The app will fly off the top of the screen, indicating the app has successfully been closed.

One beautiful feature of the Galaxy S20 Ultra is that it has 12GB of RAM which means you're less likely to need to close apps to free up space. Even better, you can keep up to 5 apps running in the background so they launch quickly whenever you need them. You can accomplish this by opening up the "Close Apps" screen, tapping on the app icon of the app you'd like to keep open, and tap "Keep open for quick launching".

Does everyone else have to hit "close all" twice? Is it because it's in the same place as the fingerprint sensor?

For me it's an old habit for PC's and phones, to close things I don't need.

I only have to hit once. Though I will say, with 12gb of RAM, which rivals expensive PC's now, there is NO need to close anything ever. But I feel ya on habits.

IDK what to say. It isn't a time thing, because I can wait 10, 20 seconds and still have to hit it a second time. I don't see a setting related to clearing apps.
