Maybe you heard many people keep telling you that quitting apps in multitasking can save battery life. This is the easy way to quit the apps. You can just click the Home button twice and swipe up the apps one by one.

However, this is the wrong suggestion. In fact, quitting the apps can make your iPhone battery drain faster. After you quit the app, it will take more time to open when you want to use it again. It because your iPhone has to load all the things from the app from the beginning.

Actually, if you have disabled the Background App Refresh feature, the app won't run in the background. The iOS freezes them when you left the app, except if you are playing music, using Location Services, checking for the incoming VOIP calls, like Skype, etc.
