iPhones don’t multitask and therefore you can’t have 25 open windows. The apps in the background are essentially in hibernation and use minimal memory resources and consume minimal battery capacity.


However, if an app is not functioning properly, a good troubleshooting step can be terminating the app or better, deleting the app entirely.
