You can SWIPE UP from the bottom of the screen and that will minimize the app and return the user to the Home Screen. If you want to completely close an app running in the background then you can SWIPE UP, HALF WAY from the bottom of the screen and that will reveal the App Switcher. Locate the app that you want to close and PUSH/FLICK it UPWARD and it will vanish.
