How to force close WhatsApp or another application so that it stays off

We are going to explain how to force the closure of WhatsApp or another application , both on Android and iOS. In this way, if you find that you are receiving many notifications on WhatsApp or another app and you want to stop a bit without having to put the airplane mode or silence the mobile until you decide to open it again.

We are going to explain two simple methods with which you can do it. On Android we will tell you how to force close the application , while on iOS the issue is not so easy, and you will have to deactivate the updates in the background … but then you will have to reactivate them so that the app works again.

Force close WhatsApp on Android: How to force close WhatsApp or another application so that it stays off:

The first thing you have to do is enter the Android settings. Once in them, click on the Applications and notifications section . Depending on the customization layer of your mobile manufacturer, the section may be called differently, but you always have to go to that one where the applications are referred to.

Once you enter the Applications and notifications section , click on the Information section of the applications . Here, again from the manufacturer, the section may change its name, but what you must do is get to the list of all the apps you have installed.

Once you are in the list of installed applications, now you have to click on WhatsApp or the application whose closure you want to force.

You will enter a screen where you will see a lot of data from the app, and above you will have three main options. Here, click on the Force stop button in the options you have above, and when the window opens asking you to confirm the option click OK . Ready, you will close WhatsApp until you decide to open it again.
