What to Know
If you have an app open in full-screen mode, you can still close any other app running in the background. When you tap the square navigation button and switch to the open app list view, you can swipe left or right to browse through all of the open apps and swipe up to close the other app.
To reopen the app again, tap the round icon at the bottom of the screen to return to the Home screen. Tap the app icon again to reopen it.
You can force close any app currently running on your Android Fire tablet from inside the Settings app. First, open the Settings app.
Tap Apps & Notifications in the Settings menu.
You will see a list of your recently opened apps at the top of the list. Scroll down to the one you want to force close and tap the name of the app.
Now, on the App Info page, find and tap the Force Stop button.
First, select the App Switcher (square box) at the bottom of the screen. Then, find the app you want to pin and select the Pin (thumbtack) icon. To unpin the app later, tap and hold the App Switcher and Back icons. If you don’t see these options, make sure you aren’t using a child account.
To remove an app, tap and hold its icon on the Home menu. Then, select Uninstall at the top of the screen. You’ll confirm, and then the app will be gone.
