I don’t like the 26.2.1 version, especially the Window/split screen view settings.

the new version- iPadOS 26.2.1 (23C71) is a nightmare.

i can’t use the device at this point really. The window settings are the worst. It used to be two clicks to split the view to have, for example- an art program on the right and the photo gallery on the left. Now it just dosen’t make sense, and constantly zooms in, turns off the view split, moves the programs around on the screen like on a computer and is just…i hate it. It’s wayyyy to complicated and detailed, and there should be an option to maybe ,,turn off” the amount of controls and settings for something so simple as split screen view. I simply can’t draw with this new version. And the bubble effect…I’m sorry, maybe it’s just me, but it’s an assault on the senses. I’m autistic and sometimes visuals can greatly affect me, even be physically painful and distressing- and the bubble/water animation just rubs me the wrong way.

I tried contacting Apple, but there is no clear way of contacting them, it’s all through the lenses of classified issues and if you have an issue that isn’t on that list, you’re all alone with it.

is there a way to at least fix the window settings? Just them. And without doing some crazy hacking stuff to go back to the older version, as i know it’s very risky.

Edit- now i also realized i can’t import images to the art program through dragging it from the gallery window to the art program window. Great.
