How do you force close apps while on the phone?

I was having a conversation on the phone using the speaker option. While on the phone I attempted to force close apps using force touch as I normally would. However, the phone freezes and reverts back to the phone call screen.


I am wondering if this is a bug that apple needs to look into.


Thanks

Just because you don’t think people should force close apps doesn’t mean others have to think that way. I’ve force closed apps for years whenever I don’t use them and haven’t had any issues. I don’t remember not being able to force close apps on other versions of iOS during phone calls, but it should be an available feature.

I believe they do things if the majority of customers want them to be done. I’m not saying a majority want this feature. I’m just going to continue to swipe up on apps I’m not using because I feel more organized that way.
