Oh my goodness, I have to stop doing too many things at once. I didn't press the app when I was in the "what is running in the background" mode.
1. To see what is running in the background, press the home key twice. You will see up to four background apps in the bottom of the display, scroll right to see what else is running. 2. Then if you press on an app at the bottom of the screen (apps that are still running in the background). It doesn't DELETE the app ;-) Sorry for the panic, Ronni does tend to go into panic mode sometimes ….. Cheers.
