This is what actually happens when you force quit an app on your phone

I’ll admit it—I was a person who would close every app as soon as I was done using it. If I somehow missed it, I would make sure to swipe up on every card in the App Switcher right before sleeping. It felt productive. I used to think I was cleaning up my phone, so it could run better and save battery at the same time. After years of doing this ritual, I’ve learned that force-quitting isn’t doing any good for my phone. And I’m far from alone; many users still have a habit of swiping up every app that isn’t in use.
