Unfortunately, there are few available options if you want to force-close every app on the app switcher simultaneously. ..

  1. Quit all of your apps on your iPhone by pressing and holding the Home button and then selecting “Quit apps” from the menu.
  2. If you have an active app, it will continue to run even if you quit it. If you have an inactive app, it will be closed and will not start up again until you reopen it.
