Surely many of you are already enjoying all the news of the new watchOS 5. In this case what we are going to see today is how to force the closure of an application or rather all applications in the new operating system that is compatible with all new Apple Watch Series 4, Apple Watch Series 3, Series 2 and Series 1.
In this case, it is an interesting function for cases in which for some reason an app gets "hung up" or we simply want to close all the applications that we have open at a stroke. This I have to make it clear that it is not necessary to do it frequently Since the management of the processes of the device itself already takes care of it, it is more due to a failure of an app or similar.
How to force the closure of all applications on our Apple Watch
This is something that we have seen previously and it is about following the same steps that are done to close the applications in watchOS 4. Users who therefore have an Apple Watch Series 0 carry out the same procedure to force the closure of all apps.
- Press and hold the side button of the watch until the menu appears: Turn off the device, Medical data and SOS Emergency. When it appears we release the button
- Now what we have to do is hold down the digital crown until we exit this menu and close the application that is causing the problem.
With these two simple steps we will be able to restart the applications that are "hung" or that we simply want to close without leaving the application open in the background. It is true that errors rarely occur in applications for the Apple Watch, but the moment they occur with these two steps, it will be closed and that's it.
In earlier versions of watchOS 4
In principle it is not recommended not to update to the latest version of watchOS 4, I doubt that anyone is in this situation, but if necessary, to force the closure of an app we have to press the button until the turn off the Apple Watch and then press the same button again while holding down until the app is closed. In this way we can close the app that is giving us problems, but I repeat that it would be best if you update as soon as possible to the latest version available for your Apple Watch.
