Repeatedly closing and opening apps can actually drain your battery faster
Theoretically, quiting an app you use once or twice in a week will save you some amount of battery. However, for apps you use on a near-daily basis, you’re only hurting yourself.
Closing and re-opening apps continually can damage your battery life.
