Can you hide the multitasking indicator "..." in iPadOS 15?

This is particularly important for games.

  • I noticed it on some apps that don't actually support multitasking. Perhaps there it is on by default although it isn't there on the home screen....

You can overwrite the top view controller's prefersHomeIndicatorAutoHidden method and return YES. That auto-hides the home indicator for devices that have one, but also apparently auto-hides the multitasking menu on iPads with iPadOS 15, even if they don't have a home indicator.

  • That works, thanks! But I did have to do the overrides in the child view controllers and not just in the tab bar controller.

  • I haven't tried this with a tab bar controller, so it's good to know, thanks. In my case, I didn't need to make this change with a navigation controller, just with its root view controller. So I'm guessing the same may be true with a tab bar controller, i.e. may not need to change the tab bar controller, just the child view controllers.
