Recent Files

I have uploaded a lot of my files ie documents and videos ... when I go into the file app and select recents at bottom all the files i have been in show up so I went and deleted all the recent files but they also delete them from the actual files aswell !! How do I switch off recent files so I don’t see history of files I have been in as I share my iPad with family members and there’s some that children can’t see

iPad Pro 12.9-inch Wi-Fi

At present, it’s not possible to edit or disable the “recent” documents list.


Apple invite, and you may wish to consider, providing appropriate feedback to Apple - highlighting this problem and requesting that they consider adding the ability to either edit or disable the list.
