How to Close Apps on Apple TV
Closing apps on your Apple TV is an essential skill to ensure smooth and efficient operation of your device. Whether you want to stop an app from running in the background or simply switch between different applications, this guide will walk you through the process step by step.
Step 1: Find the App You Want to Close
First, navigate to the app you wish to close. You can do this by scrolling through the app grid or using the Siri remote to search for the app. Once you have found the app, press the “Select” button on your Siri remote to open it.
Step 2: Open the App’s Menu
While the app is open, press the “Menu” button on your Siri remote. This will bring up a menu with various options. Look for the “Options” or “Settings” button, which may vary depending on the app.
Step 3: Close the App
Within the app’s menu, locate the “Close” or “Exit” option. Press the “Select” button to close the app. If the app does not have a specific “Close” option, you can try pressing the “Menu” button again and looking for a “Back” or “Home” option to return to the main screen.
Step 4: Verify the App Has Closed
After closing the app, you can verify that it has indeed been closed by looking at the app grid. The app should no longer be visible or running in the background. If you are still seeing the app, you may need to restart your Apple TV by holding down the “Select” and “Play/Pause” buttons on your Siri remote simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the screen goes black.
Step 5: Close Multiple Apps
If you need to close multiple apps, repeat the process for each app. Alternatively, you can use the “Home” button on your Siri remote to return to the main screen, and then press the “Up” button to see a list of recently used apps. Select the app you want to close and follow the same steps as before.
By following these simple steps, you can easily close apps on your Apple TV and maintain a clutter-free interface. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your device runs smoothly.
