How to close apps in iOS7 on iPhone?

Before iOS7 you could double click the home button and a stream of apps you opens would be in a horizontal line in their own little "section/box" and if you held them they would shake with an "x" you tap that and they close the open app and it will save battery and such

How do you do that iOS7?

Double click the home button and then when the apps come up, swipe the rectangular preview window up to close the app.

  • Whenever I double-tap on the home button on my iphone, it doesn't let me close apps? Usually you just double-tap the home button, the app windows come up, and you can swipe them up to close them, right? I'm not sure what happened but nothing happens when I do this now. Also I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but imessage is kind of screwed up too, because whenever I try to type something, the text box covers up the latest text. So if you know what's going on, please tell me what I need to do to fix this, Thanks!
  • My iphone screen is very dark, but if I look very close, I see the apps slightly? My iphone screen is very dark but I still see the buttons slightly, but I have to look very closely in order to. It is definitely not the brightness, because the brightness is set to 100% and its way too dark anyway. I tried restoring my phone and turning it on and off, but nothing is working. Please help. What do I do? I literally threw it out of anger and its fixed.
  • Just got my first iPhone, how do I close apps to save battery? I have always had android phones and last had the htc evo. I always had an app/widget called task killer that I would tap and it would close all my running apps. Today I got my first iPhone 4 and see there are no such apps however I know I have a ton of things running, how can I close them out/save battery?
  • IPhone Screen Turning Pink When I Try to Close Out Apps? Yesterday my phone randomly shut off and when I turned it back on half my pictures were deleted. The screen was pink so I started up my phone again and it went away. However, whenever I double click my home screen and try to swipe away or close apps I've been using the background screen is a bright pink color. What's wrong with my phone and why is it like this?
