iPadOS 15: All The Little Things

I’ve noticed a Bluetooth symbol on the Home app icon in the dock… is this new? Anyone know what it indicates? This is on my iPad Pro (M1); doesn’t show up on my iPhone 13 Mini.

Its been around a while, iPhone usually appears at the bottom of the multitasking window. Means that you usually use the app when connected to a bluetooth device/ a specific bluetooth device (eg my iphone shows the music app when I get into my car)

Why did Apple remove the option to disable Multitasking Gestures in iPadOS 15?
It's very annoying not to be able to disable/enable it anymore. It makes some games/apps unusable now. It was available on ipads since they introduced gestures. Why remove the option now?

I sent feedback to Apple about it. Hopefully, they bring it back.

Multi-tasking is still available. Are you familiar with how to invoke it?

If not, have a look at the following: https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/use-multitasking-on-your-ipad

I know multitasking is available. I want to be able to disable it. Specifically disable multitasking gestures (3 finger swipe,etc.)
This is how it was up until iPadOS14:

The option to disable gestures has been removed from iPadOS 15 though.
Some apps/games that I have require the use of multiple fingers at the same time and multitasking gestures interferes with that. Up until now, I would disable gestures while I used the app/game and then after I would re-enable it. Now that isn't an option.

The number of bike share users is minuscule compared to the number of people who eat in restaurants. Let's be real here.

And? Bikeshare may not be important to you, but it is to others.

Bikeshare is easier to get around a few KMs that it is a car, in a congested city.

Apple is being progressive in adding this type of functionality, and which already exist in competing apps.

I have a number of apps on my iPadPro that will only open in portrait mode which means they are always 'side on' as my iPP is on a kbd and in permanent landscape mode.
It seems that there was to be an option to rotate these iPhone/portrait only apps announced for iOS/iPadOS15:

It works for most, but I did find that StubHub never turns.

Yes, it works for the most part. But its specifically for iPhone apps… not blown up iPhone apps. I do agree with you that blown up iPhone apps should then convert to a actual iPhone app (which could turn portrait). But I think the problem is on the developers for creating blown up iPhone apps.. either they should of not have a iPad version at all or take the time to develop an app to utilize the bigger real estate for the iPad.

I apologize for the late response. But no, I haven’t any of those issues. Currently on iPadOS 15.2 beta 3.

Have this been mention before?
