How to Close Apps on an iPad Mini Running iOS 7

Hand interacting with a touchscreen interface displaying an application menu.

The new Apple iOS 7 is here for your iPad Mini. Closing running apps prevents them from taking up precious memory, resources and battery. Simply quitting an app by pressing the home button doesn't work; the application is still running. Watch the video below to see how to close them completely.

Double-Click the Home Button

Slide to the Application You Want to Close

Close the Application by Pulling It Up

To reiterate, press the Home button two times, then slide to the desired application, and slide it away by pulling it up. Easy and much faster than what it used to be in iOS 6.

Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates are packed with new features, and you can try them before almost everyone else. First, check our list of supported iPhone and iPad models, then follow our step-by-step guide to install the iOS/iPadOS 26 beta — no paid developer account required.
