The more I use iPadOS 26, the more I wish the window traffic lights were just visible all the time in their maximized state. Make it so that I have to design my app around them, sure, but just stop hiding them. They're fine, they make it easier to use, and having to tap them twice every time gets annoying fast

@stroughtonsmith any idea why they removed the four-finger gesture and swiping over the Home indicator line to switch apps from Windowed apps mode?

@stooovie this is a known issue in beta 1!

“Switching apps by swiping left or right with one finger along the bottom edge, or with four/five fingers anywhere on screen, does not work in the new Windowed App Multitasking mode. (151293681)”

@averyvine ok! Thank you, that’s something. I’d still love if they kept the old split and slideover stuff that I genuinely enjoy. The new one is geared more towards desktop use with mouse and keyboard.
