Closing tabs on your Samsung phone is a straightforward process that ensures you maintain an organized and efficient browsing experience. Whether you have accidentally opened multiple tabs or simply want to free up some memory, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to close tabs on your Samsung phone.
1. Using the Recent Apps Button
The most common method to close tabs on a Samsung phone is by using the Recent Apps button. Follow these steps:
1. Tap the Recent Apps button, usually located on the bottom left corner of your screen, or swipe up from the bottom of the screen to view your recent apps.

3. Press and hold the app until a close button appears.
4. Tap the close button to close the tab.
2. Using the App’s Menu
Some apps may provide a direct option to close tabs within their own menu. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the app with the open tab you want to close.
2. Look for a menu icon (usually three dots or lines) in the upper right corner of the screen.
3. Tap the menu icon to open the app’s menu.
4. Look for a “Close Tab” or “Exit” option and tap it to close the tab.
3. Using the Multitasking Window
The Multitasking window allows you to quickly switch between apps and close tabs. Follow these steps:
1. Tap the Recent Apps button or swipe up from the bottom of the screen to view your recent apps.
2. Press and hold the app with the open tab you want to close.
3. Drag the app to the bottom of the screen and release it to close the tab.
4. Force Closing the App
If the above methods don’t work or if the app becomes unresponsive, you can force close it. Here’s how:
1. Press and hold the Power button until the Power off menu appears.
2. Tap “Turn off” to shut down your phone.
3. Wait a few seconds, then press and hold the Power button again to turn your phone back on.
