To close a frozen application on iPad, you need to open the list of applications that you have recently used. As soon as you remove this application from the list, it will close. If the app has locked your iPad, restart your device. Uninstall apps that keep crashing or don't use to free up your device's internal storage.

Tips

• The apps in the list of apps you've recently used aren't actually running, but paused to allow quick access to them. If an application is inactive, it is not using system resources or impacting performance. If you are not using an application, it is best to force close it.
