accessing quick notes with finger swipe from right bottom corner

Why can’t I use this. I see the finger swipe setup in lighter grey than the greyed out buttons. Is there another

setup I missed? I use the quick notes all the time.


iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

To use the corner-swipe gesture, you need to disable Stage Manager:


iPadOS 16.x

Settings > Home Screen & Multitasking > Stage Manager > Use Stage Manager on iPad - set to OFF


iPadOS 17.x

Settings > Multitasking & Gestures > [Multitasking] - select OFF or Split View & Slide Over



While the finger corner-swipe gestures are disabled when Stage Stage Manager mode is active, the gestures remain available using an Apple Pencil.
