I'm sick of closing each App one at a time as it drains off batt unneccessarily. Is there an App that closes all the Apps?

I use a battery monitor app from the App Store and that shuts off anything that's currently running in the background. I know it works as I was listening to music when I opened it and everything stopped.

your app is essentially closed within seconds after you press the home button or switch to another app.

Closing apps one at a time is completely unnecessary. Apps in the multitasking switcher are either suspended, or not running at all. (Unless they are playing music, downloading something, or finishing a task.) They do not drain the battery at all.

If that is the case, then all the info I recieved from friends are all wrong. They always advise its better to close the Apps to conserve batt.

Ok, i won't bother.

Really good to know now.

Tks all.

I have always made sure to close any apps when Im not using them, on my iPad and iPhone too. I always heard having a bunch on there would cause slow down. Maybe not. Now its habit, so I do it without even thinking. :-/

Of course apps running in the background drain battery! Try locking your iPhone with Facebook still running in the background, and watch how your battery drains.
