The App Switcher appears with the most recently opened iPad apps displayed as windows across the screen.
Each window features an icon above it along with the name.

What If Closing the App Doesn’t fix the Problem?
The next step after force-quitting an app is to reboot the iPad.
When you click theSleep/Wake buttonat the top of the gadget, the iPad goes to sleep.
You won’t have to pay for the app to reinstall it.
Do I Need to Always Force-Quit Apps?
TheiOSenvironment knows when you’re using an app or need it to run in the background.
Apps such as Apple Music can play music even when they’re inactive.
They’ll keep doing so unless you force-quit or return to them and stop the playback.
You do not need to force-quit apps unless the app misbehaves.
