Note, however, that Multitasking and associated Shelf functions cannot be disabled. Individual open instances of an App can be closed directly from the Shelf just swipe the unwanted thumbnail off the top of the screen. Each App - such as Mail, Safari, Notes, Calendar, etc. Simply tapping a thumbnail will switch directly to that running instance of Safari. The shelf, when triggered, shows a thumbnail of each running instance of an App.įor example, if you have three running instances of Safari, each with its own set of open tabs, you will see three thumbnails corresponding to each running instance of Safari - plus a button to open a new instance of Safari. IPadOS permits you to have multiple “instances” of the same App - each instance being self contained. Having updated to iPadOS15, you have now encountered the “Shelf” - this being a new feature of the now revised iPadOS multitasking environment. There needs to be an easily accessible DELETE option to close out these mini opened windows! It is really annoying! It would be great to hear from Apple Support so this issue can be fixed in a future iOS update. I noticed this problem with opened windows on my email and notes app. The “Edit” option is only for customizing the Safari browser, and the other options on the top left and right of the screen will not delete them either. Usually opened windows have an “X” so you can close them out but the ones saying “Start Screen” do not. However, there is no option to delete them. How do you permanently delete them so they do not keep reappearing? If you press and hold the Safari app, an option for “Show All Windows” will appear and makes all these opened windows larger squares that fill the screen. Tapping the screen or “edit” will remove them. When you tap the Safari browser, a row of mini opened windows saying “Start Screen” appear at the bottom of the screen below.
