Close All Apps Button Missing in Xperia Z1 Android Kitkat

Hi,

I recently did a Restore to Factory Settings to my Xperia Z1. After that I noticed that the Close All button is missing when opening my recently opened apps. It was there before I made I reset. How do I bring this back?

Android Version

4.4.2

Build Number

14.3.A0.757

Thanks,

Hermes

Hi,

As far as I know, Xperia Z1 have never had this function to close all recent apps. This function came first in Xperia Z2.

That sounds correct.

This is something I've always missed with the Z1. Coming from an older phone that still had a 'close all' button, to a flagship device without one is ridiculous! Surely it's not hard to code one in, especially as I thought it was part of Vanilla Android anyway?

Probably it was removed due to the fact that it it not really needed,Android needs all apps in recent memory to be able to access them.
