closing apps

on my new iPhone 12 mini when I swipe an app off does that close the app? or is it still running in the back ground?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 14

Unless specifically required to do so, no apps run in the background. Unless an app is misbehaving, there is seldom a reason to force close it.

Closing apps I have an iPhone 11 running the current IOS. I need to close down an app. I did what Apple suggested as in swiping up from the bottom of the home screen but nothing happens. I can swipe every direction except from the bottom up. So what am I missing? Thanks
