The AOL app is configured by default to run in the background from the moment you install it on your iPad. If you signed in to your AOL account using the app, it will not only run in the background, but also keep you signed in to your account. If you don't need to see the latest news, videos and stories from AOL or access your email, you can shut down the AOL app. You can close the app entirely or just sign out of your AOL account.
1 Terminating the AOL App
2 Double-tap
Double-tap the "Home" button to switch to the multi-tasking view which enables you to see all apps that are running on your iPad.
3 Locate the AOL app
Locate the AOL app and then swipe upwards on its screenshot or thumbnail to terminate the app. The app "flies" off the screen when it closes.
