Or, four finger swipe and discard the other apps running - same difference and as long as it's short

I'm pretty sure this only toggles the app, not actually shuts it down.

Correct. To shut down app, you must do the double Home tap, then swipe up.

Nooooooo... Four finger swipe down and then swipe up the app(s) to close them. Try it and see.... Then come humbly back to me and pledge your reverence at my teachings
