The touch corner-swipe gestures are not available with Screen Manager enabled - but this is not the end of the story...


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

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






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

Settings > Apple Pencil > [Pencil Gestures]

  • Bottom Left Corner - select as required
  • Bottom Right Corner - select as required
