At this point it is incomprehensible how Apple has not implemented a system for close all the applications that we have in the background Fortunately, within the multitasking bar, the jailbreak is once again a great ally in these cases and thanks to the Sicarius tweak, this lack of the system is solved in a very simple way.
To install this tweak we have to access Cydia and add the repository "danyl.net/repo". Once added, we go to the Sources section, we look for the repository of «Dany Lisiansky» and we locate Sicarius. Once we have found it, we install them and restart the springboard so that we can start using it.
How does Sicarius work to close all applications at once? What we have to do is press the Home button twice so that the multitasking of iOS 8 appears and once there, we swipe up the home screen as if it were one more application that we want to close. With this simple gesture, all the applications that we had previously open will be eliminated from multitasking and the hardware resources will be released manually.
Sicarius differs from Purge or Slide2Kill Pro in that it offers a 3D effect and also offers a series of adjustments to exclude certain applications, something very useful for music applications such as Spotify. The configuration of this tweak is accessible from the iOS Settings application itself, there is no icon on the springboard after installing Sicarius on our iPhone or iPad.
Although Apple says that it is not necessary to close the applications that we have in the background since the system is responsible for managing resources autonomously, the truth is that if you go to an Apple Store alleging battery problems, the first thing they do is open multitasking and if you have many applications in it, they invite you to close them from time to time and prevent too many from accumulating.
Thanks to Sicarius, we can now avoid having to go one by one, two by two or even in threes if we move a little to the right and slide three fingers on each of the applications simultaneously.
