At any given time, you probably have too many apps open on your phone, potentially draining your precious battery life.

But here’s some good news for anyone with three or more fingers and iOS 7: You can close three apps at once.

This is how you do it:

Allow me to demonstrate:

ios-three-apps
ios-three-apps

Those apps didn’t even know what was coming for them.
