New,feature? How to stop?

Hi. When I’m on safari on my iPad, I’ve always “swiped” up from the bottom right corner with my thumb to scroll.


recently I’ve noticed that sometimes when I “swipe” up a little “box” with a link, and “add link” appears. I can tap it and it disappears to the side with a little arrow. Or I,can tap “done” and it goes away.


what is this thing? How can I get it to stop? Must be a new update thing??


thanks.

That is Quick Note. It lets you quickly add the URL you are in, into a Note. Link-> Create Quick Notes anywhere on iPad - Apple Support

Unfortunately there is no way to turn it off. You can offer Apple Feedback: link-> Feedback - iPad - Apple


You can instead swipe from a bit higher up and further out form the corner to avoid it.

Corners are special 🙂


A diagonal upward swipe from the lower-right corner will trigger the new QuickNote feature. A vertical swipe from the same corner will reveal the iPad Dock - or an extended swipe to the centre will expose the App Switcher.


As for the top-right corner, a downward swipe will open the Control Centre.


For scrolling in Safari and other Apps, keep clear of the extreme corners of the screen
