How to Fully Close an App on MacBook?

So to close a app on your Mac fully

1.Open any app of your choice.

2.You will notice that the red x in the upper left does not close the App.

3.While that’s the case make sure the app you want closed is opened and while not in full screen look in the upper right beside the app logo you should see the name of the App.

4.Click the app name and select Quit ?? and that’s it. Any app on the dock with a dot beneath it is open. When you do the above the dot will disappear indicating the app is closed.
