iOS 4.2.1 task manager – kill unwanted background programs

We all know iOS 4.2.1 supports multitasking. So, even if we close an program by pressing home button, that program may run in the background. So after running (and closing) many programs, your iDevice may complaint low memory problem. Luckily, iOS 4.2.1 comes with in-build task manager which you can use to view all running programs or kill unwanted background programs. So, you don’t need any external application to do this. Without much ado here are the steps,

1. Double tap on the home button (press the home button two times like double click). It will show all the running programs.

2. Now long press on an icon. It will show the close symbol on the left top corner.

3. Click on the close symbol to close a program. If you want, you can close all the running programs.

Simple isn’t it 🙂
