After a good few years, my trusty iPhone 8 reduced its battery life to less than half a day so I took the plunge and bought an Apple refurbished iPhone 12 Mini (I considered an Android for all of 45 minutes). It doesn’t have a ‘button’ so I had to briefly research how to do things without one.
One of those things is shutting down apps that have been just moved out of the way/on stand-by, as I discovered that apps like Reddit are power-hungry and I’ve been my managing battery life on the 8 by closing them once I’ve finished using them.
While researching this I was alarmed to discover that Apple recommends NOT closing apps as doing so affects battery life. So I’ve stopped closing them, but I can’t help but think that keeping open tens of apps isn’t a great idea either.
Can anyone confirm whether closing apps is a good/bad idea?
