Touch the X on the upper right of the app to close it. Swipe from the left of the screen to display the task switcher, or touch its icon in the Taskbar (it looks like 2 rectangles on top of another and is located to the right of the search icon, represented by a magnifying glass).If done correctly, the app will shrink and follow your finger until it disappears at the bottom. Swipe all the way from the topmost of the screen to the very bottom.On the right side, you'll see the X button. Swipe downwards from the top of the screen to display the title bar.Windows 10 (Minecraft Windows 10 Edition) Might be a bit more difficult to do in Windows 10 Mobile, as the task switcher shows two rows of apps, rather than just one. Navigate to the left or right, swipe downwards to kill the app. It's more or less the same as with iOS, only you need to press and hold the "Home" button, rather than double-click it in order to display the task switcher.

To find Minecraft PE, swipe to the left or right. To call the task switcher, you need to double-click the "Home" button. Most if not all mobile operating systems have a so-called "task switcher", which can be used to either switch to an already running app, or "kill" it (kill means exit). Suspending it means keeping it in memory, which is not an issue because memory always consumes power whether it's used or not. Exiting the app means having to launch it again some point later. When an app is launched, the CPU needs to not only fetch the app from storage, but also execute code to prepare the app for running this all requires power to do and depletes your battery faster. The reason why apps are suspended instead of exited is a simple one.

The thing with mobile devices, is that when you hit the "Home" button, you don't exit the app, you're only suspending it.
