IPadOS 16 Left and right corner swipe with finger not working.

I was trying to activate the left and right corner swipe to start a screenshot and a quick note, but I am not able to change the button that is shown.

Now I must say that also an Apple Pencil is attached. Could that be a point?

And with the pencil it is possible to use the gestures.

Cheers,

Jim

You have evidently enabled Stage Manager.


The finger-swipe corner gestures are not available when Stage Manager is enabled - however, the Pencil corner gestures remain accessible while Stage Manager is active.


As such, currently, finger-swipe corner gestures and Stage Manager are mutually exclusive features. If you need to use the former, the latter must be disabled.
