Notes Corner Gestures will not stay off

On my iPad Pro 11" 2nd gen running iPadOS 17.4.1 I go into Settings, Notes, Corner Gestures and set Allow Finger to Swipe from Corner to Off. When I close Settings and reopen them it's set to On again. I've tried powering the iPad off and back on again, it didn't help. I keep accidentally having Notes pop up when I'm in Safari and it's really annoying. Anyone know why I can't turn this off and have it stay off?

Begin with a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.




If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings


If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:
