Introduction
The Samsung Galaxy S7 is a thing of beauty, with a water-resistant case, a durable Gorilla Glass screen and up to 16 million colors it can display. The Galaxy S7 runs on Android Marshmallow 6.0, which is very different compared to what iPhones or Windows Phones use for their operating systems. Apps designed for Android 6.0 only ask to run when then need to run and don 't just open when you turn on your phone. This helps to save on the battery life and start-up time of your Galaxy S7, so you get what you need much more quickly.

In the future, you can also use this button to quickly switch between and close apps that are currently open on your Galaxy S7.
Here 's how to close out your running apps on the Samsung Galaxy S7:
Press and hold the multitask key on your Galaxy S7 to open the multitasking menu. The button looks like pair of overlapping rectangles and is to the left of your Home button. If you have owned a Samsung smartphone in the past, this button used to look like a partial rectangle with two horizontal lines inside of it and is in the same spot. From here, you can do one of two things: the first is that you can close the apps individually by swiping it off the screen or by tapping a small "X" to close the application. Despite how odd it sounds, swiping the app off the screen will, in fact, close it. Your second option is to hit the "Close All" button at the bottom of the screen and close out everything that is currently running on your Galaxy
