It's usually added in a corner to the recent screen list (🞏)\r\n\r\nThe purpose is twofold:\r\n\r\n1. **privacy:** if a friend asks to use my phone,* I want to be able to quickly clear the recent screen list and reset all apps to their default state (e.g. closing open emails, open conversations...) lest they tap on 🞏 by mistake and read a conversation I was having with someone else, or a picture I was looking at. (If the button could close all browser tabs, in all browsers, that would be ideal, but I have a feeling browsers store the open tabs more permanently than in the open screen list.)\r\n\r\n2. **performance:** Google insists this is not needed, but as a software developer I cannot believe closing all open applications does *not* make the system more responsive for the new application I am opening, especially if it's a demanding real-time application, such as a game. In fact my experience suggests otherwise, as do all the vendors that add this customization to their images.\r\n\r\n*: For example to check something on the web, or read their email in a private tab, because they are out of power or traffic allowance. It is usually a favor one does not want to refuse to a friend, although I would keep the device under my eyes at all times."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/copperhead/bugtracker/issues/comments/219311624","html_url":"https://github.com/copperhead/bugtracker/issues/268#issuecomment-219311624","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/copperhead/bugtracker/issues/268","id":219311624,"user":{"login":"tobia","id":48756,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/48756?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobia","html_url":"https://github.com/tobia","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobia/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobia/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobia/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobia/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobia/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobia/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobia/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobia/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobia/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-05-15T21:26:37Z","updated_at":"2016-05-15T21:26:37Z","body":"Sorry, didn't see that one.
