Force closing apps on Apple Vision Pro is not intuitive. There’s no list of running apps like the one you see on your iPhone when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause halfway. There is no activity monitor like on Mac. In fact, it’s not easy to see which apps are actually closed entirely and which are just hidden.
When you select the “Close” button to the left of the window bar, it doesn’t really have any effect. fully close the application. This is more like closing the last window on a Mac: if your Vision Pro had a Dock, you would see a white dot under the application icon. Closing an app this way is a bit like returning to your Home screen on an iPhone.
You can also pinch and hold this close button, where you’ll have the option to close the app (again, not really) or close all apps. other applications.

If you want to completely close an app, you will need to use the Force Quit menu.
Press both Top button and digital crown at the same time and hold them down for a few seconds. This should bring up the Force Quit Apps menu with a list of currently running apps. Chances are there are apps on this list that you didn’t even know were running.
You can only select one app at a time and then select Force quit to completely close the application.
