Having some trouble with the Hatch Sleep App? It may help to force close your app. Here’s how to force close an app on each platform.
iPhone / iPad (iOS)
With Face ID (no Home button):
- Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle to open the App Switcher.
- Swipe left or right to find the app.
- Swipe the app’s card up and off the top of the screen.
With a Home button:
- Double-press the Home button to open the App Switcher.
- Swipe left or right to find the app.

Reopen the app from your Home Screen or App Library afterward.
Android
The exact steps vary a bit by manufacturer, but these work on most phones:
Option 1: Force stop from Settings (most reliable)
- Open Settings > Apps (sometimes “Apps & notifications” or “See all apps”).
- Tap the app you want to close.
- Tap Force stop, then confirm with OK.
Option 2: Swipe it away from Recent Apps
- Open the Recent Apps view: swipe up from the bottom and hold (gesture navigation), or tap the square/three-line button (button navigation).
- Swipe the app’s card up or sideways to dismiss it.
Samsung tip: In Recent Apps, you can also tap Close all to clear everything at once.
