Even quicker is to press and hold the back button for a second. Works on other brands as well.

[@Cin74]

Yes, this works on my CX.

[@daltondavidson5232]

That didn't work for me when I tried, but the three dots menu did work. Figures it's the one button I didn't try. 😅

[@ben6217]

Doesn’t work for me

[@davekay9974]

Thank you ❤ works on my lg 48cx model

[@andysav72]

Since the last update this no longer works.......end of June.

[@HarrisMcGrade]

But how do we "close all" like on the old version of the Home screen?? This has been frustrating me since the update; I've had to switch it back to old home screen to get a bunch closed at once

[@acraigers3318]

How’d you switch the Home Screen back? I have a nanocell and haven’t been able to close apps since the new update

[@DeclanSharkey]

Same. Couldn't figure out how to close the apps so reverted back to the basic (and in my opinion) nicer UI

[@DeclanSharkey]

​@@acraigers3318General -> Home settings -> Home Style

[@HarrisMcGrade]

@@DeclanSharkey aye, I actually really like the new home, I just like the sleekness and simplicity of the old one, too 😂

[@DeclanSharkey]

@@HarrisMcGrade yeah, I didn't like that it's a whole new screen. I liked the old UI because I could still see the content I was watching. The new layout is nice though. There's just a bunch of stuff on there I won't use

[@DeclanSharkey]

But what about a list of background apps? Before you could hold the home button and see all apps still running and close them all with one click. Where is that feature now?

[@TMH478]

Exactly! They (LG) couldn't leave well enough alone! I have been wondering the same thing. Not sure why they got rid of it in the first place.

[@dhrallstar9]

Agreed, my Oled did this new update and now even this method shown in this video doesn't even work on mine. I have no options to force close at all.

[@Raenael_Kazama]

@@dhrallstar9any update?

[@awptimo]

So...I have lg cx and the solution for me was going to settings, all settings, general, home settings, then finally click "Home Style" and choose "basic home"... Now I close everything with 2 clicks... Magic

[@unomono]

Thanks

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

Thank you for the super thanks 😊

[@EngineeringwithDrKelseyJoy]

Thank you. This is very helpful! Also I just figured out you can change your Home Setting back to Basic instead of the New one so it is only a bar on the bottom of your screen when you hit home. This option is nice because it says recent apps and you can close all recent apps there. I notice my TV works much better with this setting. Thank you again.

[@2coolgamerz]

Hey. Where did u go to change the home setting back to basic? Thanks in advance

[@matthewblunderbuss4545]

Bro thank you I upgraded my Netflix for 4k on my new TV and couldn't get the app to fully close. This was it I appreciate your video short concise and accurate.

[@p.emmila]

The button doesn’t work on my remote. What other options are there please? I hate the new update, cant close all the background apps properly

[@makennabond64]

It didn’t work for me also. I had to switch back to the basic Home screen to force close apps the old way

[@JRBowling1997]

​@@makennabond64what tv you have?

[@cats400]

To really fix this issue, you can revert back to the old style of Home Screen that makes it possible to force quit apps. Go to Settings>General>More Settings>Home Screen Settings>Style> click “Basic”. Now, the Home Screen will be its old style where you can quit apps under “Recents”

[@paulmembury3270]

My lg nano 866na 65 inch had a update with a new style home page the way I use to close the app down has gone any idea how to close the app down I've tried 3 dots on remote no joy

[@TheKarateHippo]

Hi Paul. Great tip. I always find the Amazon app lets me select my profile and then it restarts and makes me do it again. Odd. Is there a way to quit all running apps, in case more than one is open in memory?

[@TheAgentAssassin]

Is there a way to turn off LG smart TV app altogether? My uncle has a little dementia and uses a firestick 4k with a more simple remote. The problem is sometimes when he turns back the TV on it's no longer on the HDMI channel with the 4k firestick on , it's on the LG version of the smart tv.

[@Roscoe0583]

How do you see what apps are currently running in the background? Can’t see what ones I have open now. Do I have to load every single random app and shut it down? The old interface you just held the home button and they all showed, which you could then close all together.

[@JRBowling1997]

So this would be very similer closing apps on a LG BX Oled but from close running apps under the recent apps screen right?

[@GreyWithCreamium]

this doesn't work on CX, I don't see a quit app option

[@trunks0112000]

Yup same here I have a CX also and mine missing the “Quite App” option, all the other options are there except quite.

[@Fess999]

Same here....

[@marsmanic1666]

Not sure if there's been an unhelpful update since, but when I press the three dots the menu that comes up has all of those options... Except Quit App 🤦‍♂️

[@cl4w]

Same for me. Only current way I know how to close an app switching back to basic home style and then hold the Home button.

[@-djs]

Hi Paul, I hope you are all well, I didn't know this one, nice one fella.

[@assyriska1995]

How about holding on the back button?

[@Freeflier1978]

First video of yours I watched. The name "Giant" is fitting. 😂... Love the vids.

Think I need to update my TV (currently using CX) I am not seeing this option when pushing the 3 dots.

Would you please check the latest update? I don’t have that option anymore. I have a C9 Oled. Please help

[@Kkazzo4124]

Hello. Can you please tell me how to remove certain tv channels from my LG smart tv? Thank you 🙏

[@matthewhardwick8208]

[@JoeMama-qw1gb]

Hi please help me! When I press the three dots I get three options : user guide, information and quick help .

[@joebiggs4387]

Just found out last night that this doesn’t work with the LG GX. I suppose I should’ve expected that.

[@katiepcleans]

There’s no “Quit app” option…

[@benjameshodges]

Helped me out a bunch. Prime was playing up and was jumping endlessly through menus to find force quit. Thanks for the video.

[@anthonyabruzzo1138]

I don’t get the quit app option on mine. What do I do then?

[@Tweed_Tone]

Just got a G3, out the box the WebOS is horrible. Laggy, apps take forever to launch. Glad I had an Apple TV 4K ready to use. It sucks that major price tag TVs still shop with horrible software. It’s expected though

[@Hbd2002]

Is there a way to just close all the open apps?

[@celestialdream49]

My … menu doesn’t have those options. 😢. How old is your LG?

[@unomono]

Wow, I spent so much time trying to figure it out and your explanation just solved my problem. Sent u some thx!

[@redwren4182]

Back button nor 3 dots helps. There is no quit app option in the top corner menu even though Netflix is frozen on profile select. Can we have a more.in depth helpful video/tips?

[@Hotwhiskey1]

Thanks Paul. I always had a problem with NOW TV app. If I shut down tv with app on and when I turned the tv back on again the app would not load. I would have to turn the tv off again for it to work. Excellent tip.

[@WolvenRangerGaming]

Thank you! KZbin refused to close without this!

[@fatxthor2469]

I have a CX. Tried this but there's no option. Wish there was a way.

[@HDRGamingHub]

On LG CX keep the home button pressed and you can see every opened app.

[@TheOrlando9511]

Thanks bro, was trying to do it for 5 mins... your video saved our evening

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

No worries mate 🙂

[@spicychknsammy]

Please help!!! So my lg tv just updated (it looks just like urs in the video now) And before this update I could exit them bc I had the option to do so to clear them off… But After this update I don’t have it anymore- everything is diff. And my remote doesn’t have … 3 dots on it. Also it won’t work if I hold the back button either like some said in comments… SO HOW CAN I CLOSE THEMM NOW. This is annoying

[@מניכהן-ע5ז]

Same for me, Im still looking for solution, meanwhile i found an option to restore the old menu..

[@cvrlfriend]

i had this same issue. i tried all the steps i’ve found online and on the tv, but can’t figure out how to close the apps. what i did find though was an option to revert the ‘home’ view back to the way it was before the update. settings > all settings > general > home settings > home style > basic home

[@acraigers3318]

@@מניכהן-ע5ז thank you for this! I had no idea how to close apps after the new update

[@DragonCollector01]

⁠​⁠@@acraigers3318you can close them either using the return button while in an app and click on close or holding the return button a few secs, however, i did switch back to the basic home screen, now it’s like before the new update

[@rhondaday1867]

An issue I'm having is with apps reopening and resuming play. On Peacock for instance, I stop a show and click HOME. If the app is still highlighted after approx 1 min, the app opens on it's own and resumes the show. It's almost like an autoplay. I can't find a setting to stop it. I guess exiting may be the only way but it's hard to remember it every time.

[@jeffschmidt1369]

I have the same issue. I chatted with LG Support about it. He didn't have a solution. He also didn't seem to think there is an actual autoplay feature. So, I don't know if this issue is actually intended or an annoyance that they could fix. I ended up here and found this Quit method. So, now I need to Quit when done watching on an app.

[@cats400]

Switch back to the old version of the Home Screen and try force quitting the app. Go to Settings>General>More Settings>Home Screen Settings>Style> click “Basic”. Now, the Home Screen will be its old style where you can quit apps under “Recents”

[@artandcraftforbeginner6131]

I don't understand why LG are changing thing in worse... The LG CX has the best implementation of closing apps. You just keep pressed the home button and you can see and close every opened app.

[@JRBowling1997]

You can always go back to basic home. To get the old layout

Yea the three dots button has zero function on my LG smart TV. I've found most of this "magic remote" to be trash and not actually have any function. The TV isn't that great either. Wish I would have done the smart thing and bought a Samsung. No wonder this TV was so cheap for a 65in haha. But yea, I have zero way to close out of any app. I have to unplug the TV, plug it back in, open a different app, then go back to the app I wanted to restart.
