I've upgraded my iphone 4S to IOS 7.02. Is there no longer a feature to close all the open apps? You know, where you used to just double-tap, and then you could close all the open ones? I'd appreciate any help! Thanks.
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.2
Double tap Home button. Swipe previews upwards - not small icons. Tap Home button to close.
Very few apps actually remain "open" and consume any phone resrouces or battey, Most in the recently opened list are frozen, and there's not need to routinely "close" them.

Swiping UP either icons or preview works and can do 2 at a time
Thank you so much!! I wish they'd have just said that when I did the update 🙂 I really appreciate it.
Thanks modular747. I was wondering if you still had to worry about "open apps" anymore. 🙂
Actually, there was a tutotial which appeared after activating the update.
Only a few types of apps actually "run" in the background - audio streaming and navigation in particular. A few other types will run for a short period to complete a task started before closing
Note that in iOS 7 there is a new feature to allow "Background App Refresh" These can be globally or individually disabled to conserve battery:
Settings > General > Background App Refresh >
IOS 7.02 update...feature to close open apps.
