What exactly is the practical difference between ‘open apps’ and apps that have not been ‘dragged away’?
Are you saying some of those apps are not open at all, just were used once and are left in a list of apps everyone thinks is a list of open apps? But have to be relaunched when accessed from this list?
Well, if Apple provided some effing instructions with their devices the world might have understood this. But no, Apple tells you nothing and expects it all to be ‘intuitive’ because their designers are such geniuses. Well - surprise, surprise - it is intuitive that this is a list of open apps.
