I would like to eliminate the strip that acts as a task bar on the home screen of my iPad Air 2. I don't use it and don't need it but it is intrusive. Is it possible to delete it altogether? I am running iOS10.
iPad Air, iOS 10.0.2
Since you can’t remove the dock, what instructions did you follow from the settings site?
The dock will remain visible on any screen when you swipe from screen to screen. It will also disappear when you open an app but will be available in the app by swiping up. This happens regardless of how you have the options on or off in settings. So I don’t see anyway to completely remove the dock.
I went to settings. When settings opened I typed in “dock”. My search led me to “ Dock and multitasking” which I simply tap on and was led the site ( dock and multitasking).
at that site, there were 4 options. Top of page was multitasking - I turned that one off. 2nd and 3rd l turned one off and one on. I ‘ll have to go back and see which? This is a problem with turning multitasking off- I may have to turn it back on. The 4th item was the dock. Whatever it said i turned it off. Oh, I just remembered the middle one I turned off- it had something to do with voices from videos staying on even when you have closed the app. I hope this helps. The “taskbar stays on the menu ( home) screen, but not when you’re working in another app. I have a new iPad Pro with all upgrade up to date. Hope this helps.
Sorry but there isn't an option to remove it. You may want to make the suggestion to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
I got rid of it by doing this. Tap settings. There is a search bar at top of page. Type in “dock”. Go to that location & follow instructions. Turn iPad off & then on again. it’s done
Hi. You can fill it with apps you use, and move out those you don't. It is kind of handy.
