Shut down and restart the app...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red ➖ to delete the offending app from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
- Restart the app
The vast majority of apps cannot and do not run in the background. For more info on Multitasking...

Press twice quickly on the Home button. The list of running apps will appear. Hold down on one until they wiggle. Tap on the circled 'x' to kill each one. Pressing the Home key once returns the standard screen.
When I double tap thje home button I see as whole string on apps there, and my battery is burning down very quickly (dropped 10% in 30 min). I'm guessing there's a lot running in the backgrund spo how can I tell what's running and close down what doesn't need to be running?
The list of running apps will appear.
See my links above. 😉
Read my first post in this thread, specifcally the links.
All those apps are in the background and suspended, but they do take up system volatile memory. Unless you need to access all of them quickly, I would kill them all.
