How to Close Apps on iPhone X in iOS 11

Step 1: Swipe Up and Hold

Bring up the App Switcher on the iPhone X by swiping up from the bottom of the screen, holding your finger on the screen for a second and then removing it.

Step 2: Tap and Hold

Now, tap on hold on any of the cards displayed on the screen. This will bring up a red button on the top-left of each card. You can now finally close an app on your iPhone X by swiping up on them.

This method is definitely tedious and unnecessarily complex. Perhaps Apple has intentionally made it frustrating so as to deter users from repeatedly closing apps on their iPhone. In contrast, on older iPhones featuring a physical Home button, one can close an app by simply swiping up on it.

If you accidentally deleted or lost videos on iPhone, first please check on the Recently Deleted folder. Alternatively, you can use the professional tool Gihosoft iPhone Data Recovery to recover deleted iPhone videos from Camera Roll or some apps.
