iPadOS 27.3 adds new iPad setting I instantly turned on
Key Points:
- iPadOS 27.3 beta introduces a new setting that allows users to double-tap the top of app windows to quickly resize them to fullscreen or revert to their previous size.
- This feature addresses frustrations with the changing and sometimes disappearing window controls in iPadOS 27, providing a more intuitive touch-based resizing option.
- The setting is found under Settings → Multitasking & Gestures, available when 'Windowed Apps' is enabled, and supports both touch input and trackpad double-clicks.
- The update is particularly useful for users who rely on touch input or are not familiar with keyboard shortcuts for window management, enhancing the multitasking experience on iPad.
- Overall, this refinement is seen as a welcome improvement to iPadOS’s windowing system, offering a quick and convenient way to toggle fullscreen mode.
