How can I close apps with Voice Recognition on iPhone?

My friend whose blind is used to her older IPhones that had a home button. She used to double tap the home button to close apps, but she doesn't know how to close apps on this phone using voice reognition.

On phones without a Home button, you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen and that will take you back to the home screen as well.
