Bookmark and Share

Upgrade to iOS 4.2 or higher enhances iPad / iPad2 with multitasking – the ability to keep as many eligible apps running in background as it can hold in memory at one time and keeping all others in suspended state where they are frozen at where you last left off. In theory apps will be purged from the suspended state if the iPad /iPad2 or even new iPad 3 runs out of dedicated system memory. So it is iOS responsibility to chose the correct moment for memory cleaning. However, if you have any doubt about performance of your iPad /iPad 2 / iPad 3 get rid off all unwanted apps sitting in background. To do this just follow steps below:

  1. Double-tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar.
  2. Scroll through the icons, find the one you wish to close.
  3. Tap and hold on the icon until the red circle with white dash in it appers on the top left corner of the icon.
  4. Tap the red circle with a dash. This will release the memory from that app in background.

One more reason to keep iPad / iPad 2 / iPad 3 memory as clean as possible is to keep its battery from being drained early. Energy avid apps living in background (especially those ones that feed speakers) do not favor battery's life span.
