Correct. It's not meant to do that.

You need to use your finger to close apps.

Is there another shake to undo option for Apple Pencil/files app When writing, with the Apple Pencil, in the files app a slight shake will ask if I want to undo. The problem is that the setting of shake to undo is off. I am wondering if there is another setting to disable this for the files app or maybe while using the Apple Pencil as it is really disruptive? I have checked the setting and have tried restarting my iPad but the pop up still appears, here are the photos of the pop up and the settings:

Apple Pencil left corner swipe for screenshot not working when other apps are open I have an iPad Air 3rd gen on 16.1.1. I use the swipe feature to grab screenshots all the time to insert them into notes apps. Now, if I have any app open, when I use my apple pencil to swipe from the left corner of the screen to grab a screenshot it doesn't work. However, if I do the same thing on the home screen it works fine. I've tried turning the feature off and on as well as restarting and hard-resetting the ipad. Nothing seems to work. Anyone else having this issue? Other suggestions?
