If an app isn’t responding, you can quit it and then reopen it. You can quit it from Exposé, or if the app is in a window, close the window, then reopen it on the Home Screen, App Library, or in the Dock. If the app is still unresponsive after you quit and reopen it, restarting your iPad may help.
Note: Since iPad automatically manages how apps run in the background, quitting apps you’re not using doesn’t prolong battery life.
You can do one of the following to quit an app:
- To quit an app, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and hold, then release to open Exposé, then swipe up on the app.
- If the app is in a window, tap the Window Controls button, then tap the Close Window button.
To reopen the app, tap it on the Home Screen, App Library, or in the Dock. If the app is still unresponsive after quitting and reopening, try restarting your iPad.
