Since forever ago, everything from general reasoning, to Apple Store employee training, to Craig Federighi himself talked about “closing apps” (open up multitasking and “swiping up“ on apps) as anything from unnecessary to downright “harmful”.
My understanding has always been: “RAM is there to be used, and being able to switch to an app already in RAM is generally quicker/better for battery. If the system needs that RAM for something else, it will eject it. Don’t go and regularly close all your apps.”
Now with stage manager on my iPad, I find that I really want to get rid of the long string of app history that literally goes as far back as the first app I ever opened on my iPad. Something about it is like how I operate on my Mac, where I have what I need open and nothing else clutters up the desktop real estate.
I guess I’m back to that same question, “Is it bad to ‘swipe away’ all the apps in the app history?” It reasons that there is no real “benefit” (save for the aforementioned organization), but is this still a problem thing to do in modern iOS/iPadOS?
Curious to see what y’all think.
