Gestures

[jabingla2810]

Couldn't really care less what web pages you throw, clearing out the multitask and power cycling the device every now and then is an important step for any computer out there. There is a reason why it's one of the first troubleshooting steps to almost any issue.

I did state that it makes sense to 'close' an app if it crashes. Thats the only reason Apple lets you 'close' apps in this manner.

I think clearing out all background apps, and power cycling WERE important things for computers. And on Windows os Mac OS they still are to some extent.

However, not with the iPad. My girlfriends mum has had an iPad for a year now and she doesn't even know how to get into the multi-tasking tray. When we go round and I get to use it, it still runs as smooth as butter, and her battery is fantastic.

It's an iPad, and there isn't really any wrong way to use it, and who am I to say I use it better than you. I am just sharing what I have found. And that is that closing background apps is not necassary in the slightest.

But if it makes you feel better and it keeps you happy, then keep doing it.

I never said it would do anything to the battery or to the device's functionality. But it is important to give any iOS device a minute or two of downtime at least once a month. You can keep doing whatever you do and keep your device on 100% of the time if you want.

I'll recommend you do one thing, call Apple and ask. Heck, demand a Senior Advisor and ask them. Get some real ideas of what is recommended other than your mothers iPad.

Then why do it?

Why would I call Apple?

I don't have any issues with my iPad.

"Hey Apple, do I need to manually go in a close all my apps?"

"Is your iPad behaving in a strange way, or is an app not responding?"

"No, everything is fine"

"........"

Let's agree to disagree here. It's Sunday and it's sunny outside

Agree to disagree, probably the first time that phrase has ever been put on the internet. But sure, I think we can stop thread crapping a bit and enjoy the day.

In reference to my recommendation to call Apple about it, the reason would be because they are the actual people trained on the product and should know what is recommended for the device better than anyone on the internet.
