iPad magic keyboard 3 finger gestures no longer working

Ever since I upgraded to iPad OS 15, the 3 finger swipe up on the magic keyboard to get to the Home Screen no longer works, nor does the 3 finger swipe across to switch between apps. 2 finger gestures work fine, but anything involving 3 fingers does not work. I cannot find anything in the settings to help me.

I am facing the same issue too on my iPad Pro 2021 with white Magic Keyboard. The 3 and 4 fingers gestures do not work.


I have read in previous versions of iPadOS that you need to go to Settings->Home Screen & Dock->Multitasking and enable Gestures.


This option does not appear in iPadOS 15. So the gestures don’t work.


Anybody have any solution to this ?
