Does anyone have any idea how to close windows? I keep on accidentally opening new windows in Safari on the new IPad OS and have found no way to close them except for double-tapping the home button and swiping away the new copy of Safari, which feels like a hell of a lot of work for something I almost never want to be doing in the first place. CLOSE WIDGETS ARE USEFUL APPLE.
- zamfi 7y agoI think swipe down from the top, then swipe up like you’re killing an app?
- robohoe 7y agoThe slide over apps? It’s swipe from bottom to up, then swipe down (put your finger where the short of the top and bottom bars).
- phs318u 7y agoReading this thread I can't help thinking, "there goes discoverability".
- egypturnash 7y agoNope. This just turns the side panel into a floating window.
- mattip 7y agoLong press the overlapped squares in the upper right, then Merge All Windows will at least turn it into a tab that can be closed
- jen729w 7y agoHeh. Tried this as I wasn’t aware of it. Crashed Springboard.
- egypturnash 7y agoThis crashed my iPad and lost all the tabs I had lingering in Safari when it came back up.
- robohoe 7y agoTry pinching your screen with all your five wingers (open hand to pinch). That will show you all the windows that you can close. Also long press on safari (or any app) in the doctors should pop up a menu that lets you view all the windows for that app.
- egypturnash 7y agoThe pinch just takes me back to the home screen. Long press on the dock works though exiting Safari entirely to close a window I opened by accident is just incredibly awkward and annoying.
