iPhone X: Faster Way to Close and Kill Apps on iOS 11
While it’s not something rocket science but do this trick helps close and kill the apps faster, with less frustration.
iPhone X has been on users hands like about 1 month and more since Apple first sold and sent to customers. While there are many good things that users love with iPhone X – Animoji is one of them – but there are also things that iPhone X users don’t like. One of them and the one that I’m going to tell here is the way iPhone X kill any open apps is way super slow compared to other iPhone (with Home Button) with iOS 11. And this thing has made many iPhone X users frustrated.

And because everything now is all based on gestures, Apple had to make some changes and sacrifice in order to make way for the missing Home Button and all screen estate iPhone. One of many things Apple sacrifice is the way to close apps from multitask window aka App Switcher.
