On some occasion you may have found yourself needing to close applications immediately and you don’t know how to do it, which has forced you to look for how to do it or search for apps in multitasking in order to achieve what you wanted.
However, in Xiaomi there is a trick that allows you to get rid of open applications at once without great complications, so that you can close them when you exit them and thus stop consuming resources.
It is a MIUI trick that, although not many people know, can be very practical to speed up the use of your mobile according to your needs. So we tell you what it consists of and how you can benefit from it.
We can think of many practical uses beyond improving the performance of your mobile, such as preventing the apps you are using from being spied on or helping you not to leave a trace of what you do with your mobile.
You must assign this function to the back button
One of the best ways to close the applications that you are using to optimize the use of your mobile is to assign functions to the back button , since among the different possibilities that you can find there is one that allows you to close the current application.
It can also be useful if you are suddenly in an application and you want to close it instantly without leaving a trace because someone else is going to pick up the phone or watch what you are doing on your screen.
To do so, you have to follow these steps:
- Go to Settings on your mobile
- From there, tap on Additional Settings
- Select App direct settings or Gesture direct settings
- If you can’t find it, scroll down to where it says Button Shortcuts (in other settings)
- Where you see the option Keep the back button pressed, click on None (or whatever appears right next to it)
- Change it by pressing on Close current application
How to close apps now on the fly
It is done. Now remember that to close any application you are using, you just have to press for a moment on the back button of your mobile. If you do, after a short time you will see a message that says Forced closure of the application you were using without you having to do anything else. Not only will you have left, but you will have removed it from the background so that it does not consume resources.
If you have forgotten to do it with some and you want it clean, or you want to close all the applications in the background from the multitasking, you only have to press on the corresponding button. It’s likely to be a square at the bottom of your screen, and once you tap on it, all open app screens will open for you to see.
If you make a specific gesture on the screen in each app it will close, although if you find an x you can delete them all at once. It may work differently on your mobile, but the process on Xiaomi is similar.
However, you will not need to do it if you close each of the applications you open , something that, as you can see, is very simple to do once you have assigned the corresponding function to the back button of your mobile. How about?
