You should not really need to.


But this guide tells you how:

See recent apps

  • On the Siri Remote, press the Home button  twice quickly.
  • Windows representing each of the open apps appear in a row on the screen.


Force the highlighted app to quit

  • Swipe up on the Touch surface of the Siri Remote to force the highlighted app (the app in the centre of the screen) to quit.


Good luck!
