Can dock be hidden IOs 11

I've been looking and can't find where I can get rid of the dock at the bottom of the Ipad in IOs 11? I figured out how to get rid of apps, but not the whole thing. It might be nice, but it's not very hard for me to go back to the screen and go to another app...so I don't see the value in having it up. Or if you can't get rid of it, can you at least make it transparent?

Its not a copy, its just a shortcut to recently used Apps and there's no real reason to want to get rid of them. They'll change on their own as you use other apps.


You can go to Settings->General->Multi-Tasking & Dock->Show Suggested and Recent Apps and turn it off if you want to though.


Beyond that, the dock has always been there, and has never been completely transparent.


It's more opaque if you have Settings->General->Accessibility->Increase Contrast->Reduce Transparency turned on, otherwise its slightly translucent. But in all versions its been there.

The only difference is now its not docked to the bottom of the screen, and gets rounded corners.

Ya dunt!

And I like the new Dock just dandy, also.

And I suspect millions of other iPad/iOS 11 users like the new Dock, too!


I thought the new iOS 11.3 update fixed the issue with the Dock climbing up the screen on iPads
