Do you keep apps open in the background or close them?

No matter who you are, there's a good chance that you use a lot of apps throughout the day. Between checking Twitter, sending off emails, and watching YouTube videos for far too long, it can be easy to go through a lot of apps in not much time at all.

Once you start opening apps, however, you're faced with a decision to make. Do you keep them in your multitasking menu for easy access later on or swipe them away so that they're completely closed?

Here's what the AC forum community has to say.

I seldom close them. Really only do so when an app is misbehaving.

I close any app I'm not using. I don't like clutter, and leaving apps open is just clutter to me (shrug 🤷) I just swipe from left to right the minimised app. Easy peasy 😁

What about you? Do you keep all of your apps open or close them after you're done using them?
