iPadOS multitasking has received a significant makeover from that to which you may be accustomed in iPadOS 18.x and earlier - and may take a little time to learn and adjust your workflows. You would be well advised to review the official iPadOS User Guide and the many available online tutorials (such as YouTube) to become better acquainted with the new multitasking interface and associated gestures and controls.

Work with multiple windows at once on iPad - Apple Support

OS - iPadOS 26 - Apple


To maximise a windowed App, simply tap the traffic-light icon at top-left of the App Window to expand the control. From here, tap the green button to maximise the window; red will close the window along with the App; the yellow button will minimise the running App.


If the App window is already maximised, swipe downwards from the top-edge of the screen to expose the new menu bar - then use the traffic-light icon as described above.




For iPadOS 26 you have a configuration choice to use Full Screen Apps only, use Windowed Apps (or for iPad models that support the fewture, Stage Manager mode) as you prefer:

Settings > Multitasking & Gestures - select your preferred multitasking mode
