Apps should be force-closed only if they are causing an issue. Apps in the background are in a suspended state and are not really using any system resources. If you force-close an app it will use more system resources to start from scratch rather than pick up where they left off in the background.


I have been using iPhones, iPads, and iPods since 2012 and I haven’t seen any problems with refusing to kill apps without good reason.
