Q: How do I turn off apps?

Have a look here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211

It appears that now, under IOS7 that you can't click/hold to get the apps to wiggle and then X them to turn them off.

Correct:

1. Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
3. Swipe the app up to close it.

From here  >  Force the app to close

From the Link I posted above.

And the key there is to swipe up on the app preview, not on the icon. Swiping/holding on the icon won't do a thing.

YOU ROCK!!! Too easy..

Loving this new function

Thanks you rock!

Thanks for this - couldn't figure out how to do it.  So now, instead of a slight hold and touch, I have to manually swipe several times - more wasted motion.  Thanks Apple.

You're kidding, right?

It's a lot easier and faster now. Instead of having to precisely target the little X in the corner, you just swipe a huge target and get it right in one go. I think killing multiple apps is much, much faster in iOS 7.
