If you use an Apple Vision Pro and ever find yourself facing a frozen or unresponsive app, you might wonder how to force-quit it. Unlike on an iPhone or Mac, force-closing apps on Apple Vision Pro is not as straightforward. There’s no visible list of running apps or an Activity Monitor to guide you. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Let’s explore the step-by-step process of force-quitting apps on your Apple Vision Pro.
When you encounter an unresponsive app, simply selecting the Close button to the left of the Window Bar won’t fully close it. It’s more akin to closing the last window on a Mac, and the app itself remains active. In fact, if your Vision Pro had a Dock, you would still see a white dot under the app icon. Closing an app in this way is comparable to returning to your home screen on an iPhone.
Alternatively, you can pinch and hold on the close button mentioned earlier, which grants you the option to close the app (once again, not entirely) or close all other apps running in the background.
To completely close an app on your Apple Vision Pro, you’ll need to utilize the Force Quit menu. It’s as simple as pressing both the Top Button and Digital Crown simultaneously and holding them down for a couple of seconds. This action will prompt the appearance of the Force Quit Applications menu, revealing a list of running apps. You might be surprised to discover that several apps are running in the background without your knowledge.
By following these steps, you can effectively force-quit apps on your Apple Vision Pro and regain control over any frozen or malfunctioning applications. Remember to use the Top Button and Digital Crown simultaneously to access the Force Quit menu and ensure a seamless experience with your device.
We understand that navigating the intricacies of Apple Vision Pro can be challenging, especially when it comes to force-quitting apps. However, armed with these simple instructions, you’ll be able to troubleshoot and resolve any app-related issues with ease. Stay tech-savvy and make the most of your Apple Vision Pro!
