Unable to close Apps with Apple Pencil

SasidharPulipati,

When using the Apple Pencil, this is expected behavior. Please note the following details from this article when using Apple Pencil: Use Apple Pencil with your iPad - Apple Support

Drawing near the edge of the screen with your Apple Pencil won't activate Control Center, Notification Center, or Multitasking. You can draw anywhere on the screen without getting interrupted.

Best regards.

Greetings SasidharPulipati,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you're having issues closing apps with the Apple Pencil.

1. Are the apps closing without the Pencil?
2. Is this a specific app or all apps?
3. Is the Pencil still connected to your iPad or is it no longer connected?

The more information you provide, the better the chances are that you will get an answer to resolve your issue.

Have a great day!

Have a great day!
