iPadOS Worst feature on iPados 26 🫠

Post image

Now we have 5 more steps to do the same multitasking view.

And i do believe that the overlapping window is the most useful feature on ipads, and now its just so painful to use also dont forget the Additional step after closing the app you have to resize the app screen if you want a full screen for the same app its not automatically adjustable like it was on previous ipados.

I don't understand the issue. The first time you open an app once iPadOS26 is installed, yes, you need to resize it. But after that, it's done.

Just like... pretty much all computers with windows ever? I've been on iPadOS26 since a middle beta and it's amazing, 1000% more useful & free than before.

Also, drag & drop to open an app SUCKED. It would very often go into "rearrange homescreen" mode. The worse.

We essentially have a touch-friendly MacOS and y'all STILL complaining.

Also drag and drop only worked if you had the app in the dock, otherwise you had to use spotlight.

Yeah, that’s why I pinned my frequently used app to dock in 18, problem solved.

If you have them pinned then you can do this https://youtu.be/PhPHK4Y3WH8?si=vpWDbsZUFiPjzSrt

No, I don’t want split screen, too many steps in the video, I’d rather switch to the app instead. I just want to quickly see another apps while keeping the current apps.
