ICloud mail on iPad

When I first open Mail, there are numerous “windows” in a row across the bottom that are like screenshots of the inbox in prior instances. How do I remove these?


Wish there were a way to attach a screenshot here.

iPad mini 5, iPadOS 16

Greetings AliciaBE,


It sounds like you may be you may be seeing some multitasking windows on your iPad. You can learn how to manage these by following the guidance found here:


Use multitasking on your iPad


"Use the shelf on your iPad

When you switch to an app that has multiple windows open, the bottom of your iPad screen shows a shelf containing thumbnails of all the app's windows.

Tap one of the thumbnails to open the window. You can also swipe up on a thumbnail in the shelf to close that window. In some apps, you can also open a new window by tapping New Window  in the shelf."


Take care.
