The differences between iOS and Android are more than obvious, but, beyond style differences, there are special buttons that can make us use our phone in a very different way. An example? The button with which we kill the multitasking.
While Android has had it for some time, Apple resists incorporating it into its new versions of iOS and there is no shortage of reasons.

The Android button to close apps still don't accept the iPhone
The iOS user and Android user have a very different behavior when managing open applications in the background. While on the iPhone, it is necessary to slide your finger in a gesture to close them by one, on Android, it is as simple as pressing the button that appears when you open this menu. With asterisk.
This asterisk is that, precisely because of the personalization that manufacturers make on the software of your phones, Not on all Android this button behaves in the same way Nor is it implemented in the same way.
We see it better with several examples. In the pixel, this button is at the end of the carousel of the last open applications, so it can be very uncomfortable to slip until you find it. In honor, Magicos always leaves a little open, forcing us to close it manually if we want to leave it clean. Samsung and its “Clean everything” button at the bottom of the window are effective enough to close all open applications with a single gesture.
This small adjustment has transformed Android into a reference for much more comfortable management of applications in the background, but iOS does not seem to have the intention of entering the car.
Although many users insist on closing all applications, such as a kind of purification ritual with which to save battery and optimize resources, Apple does not believe that this gives an advantage. On the contrary.
IOS himself is already responsible for managing his resources And close the applications in the background when I see it necessary. In fact, this can be counterproductive. If you close the WhatsApp 20 times and reopen it for 20, you force the iPhone to recharge it from zero each time you enter again.
