Easier way to close unwanted applications 🌞 Hello my dear reader 🌸 I hope you're doing splendid I really like to keep my workspace clean and close all the windows that I'm not using in that moment. When I have been working for some time, often I have opened more than 10 windows all together - most of them different windows for my browser (because I prefer having many windows with few tabs to one window with many tabs) and some of them other applications like Spotify. When I open the mission control and it shows more than five windows (= more than five different windows are open), I think it is too slow and messy to navigate between them, so I close all of them that I don't use. The problem: I have not found a way to close a window without first opening it. I would LOVE it, if on the Mission Control I could just click all of the windows that I want to close, or to swipe them on the left or something (like you can do on iPhones for example). However, now it seems to me that all I can do is to open mission control, open the window I want to close, and then click the close-symbol on the upper left corner. When I do the same for more than 10 windows, it ends up taking a lot of my precious time :-( I will probably never get it back Is there a better way to close the windows I am not using? 😍 I believe that there are more people who would find this solution very valuable Thank you so very much for your comprehensive answer 💛

If the windows are from the same Application, you can shutdown the Application. See Quit and restart an app on iPad - Apple Support. Switch between apps on iPad - Apple Support may also be an option.
