Hi there! It sounds like you want to fully stop Citymapper on your iPhone after your ride is finished, so it’s not running or tracking anymore. Could you tell me a bit more about what you mean by "turn off"? For example, are you wanting to:
- Stop the app from tracking your location or running in the background? - Make sure it’s fully closed so it’s not using any battery or data?
Once I know that, I can guide you more specifically. Meanwhile, here’s a quick way to force quit Citymapper on your iPhone with iOS 18.7:
1. From your Home screen, swipe up from the bottom and pause in the middle to open the app switcher (if your iPhone has Face ID). If your iPhone has a Home button, double-press it. 2. Find the Citymapper app by swiping left or right through the open apps. 3. Swipe up on the Citymapper app card to force quit it.
This stops the app from running in the background.
If you’re trying to stop the app from using location services after your ride, you can also:
- Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services. - Scroll down to find Citymapper and tap it. - Change the setting to Never or Ask Next Time to stop it from tracking unless you open it again.
Let me know if you want help with any step or if you’re looking to do something else with Citymapper after your ride is over! Are you satisfied with this so far?
Got it! You want to fully close Citymapper on your iPhone to make sure it isn’t using battery or data after your ride. I’ll guide you through the best way to do this.
### Step 1: Force Quit the Citymapper App This will stop the app from running in the background: 1. From your Home screen, swipe up from the bottom and pause in the middle (if your iPhone uses Face ID), or double-press the Home button (if your iPhone has one). 2. In the app switcher view, swipe left or right to find Citymapper. 3. Swipe the Citymapper app card up off the screen to force quit it.
### Step 2: Disable Background App Refresh for Citymapper Even if you force quit, some apps refresh content in the background unless disabled: 1. Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh. 2. Find Citymapper in the list and toggle it off.
### Step 3: Restrict Location and Data Usage To make sure Citymapper doesn’t keep tracking or use data: - Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Citymapper and select Never or Ask Next Time. - Go to Settings > Cellular and scroll down to Citymapper. Toggle off cellular data to prevent any mobile data usage.
### Additional Note While force quitting does stop the app immediately, constantly swiping apps closed isn’t generally recommended for battery life because iOS manages background apps efficiently. But if you want to be certain for Citymapper in particular, these steps will cover it well1.
Give these a try! Let me know if you want me to walk you through any step. Are you satisfied with this solution?
