I ended up switching my iPad back to full screen mode. The new multi window mode is a bit beta fiddly but overall fine, just not something I have any use for on an iPad. Switching between full screen apps is really all I need.
@paul it's even more fiddly, but I think Stage Manager + multi-window is the way to go. You can basically set up Spaces for common use-cases (e.g., Bluesky + Ivory (+ Threads if you hate yourself)). Of course lots of apps still make sense in full-screen and you can keep them saved that way.
@jwolman @paul yeah, I’m finding that combo pretty great on my 11” m4 pro (with “more space” in display zoom). But the multitasking is awful on a mini.
