iPad dock won't hold Apps

iPad 9th generation running iPadOS version 16.2 won't hold any apps I move there. I drag the app but when I release it disappears and goes back to where I dragged it from. Only one App in the dock - Settings. I turned iPad off and on.

Dock on iPad ver 12.4 irritating! Dock on iPad shows recently closed apps even though I have that option turned OFF in settings. Drives me crazy! It’s iOS version 12.4. Has anyone got any ideas how to make this not happen? Thanks! Btw, it’s ipad Air not Pro.

Check there is a division in the Dock, it separates the "recently opened" apps, (right side), and the apps in dock, (left side). Try dragging your app to the left side, sure it will stay.
