How to change the function of the corner gestures on iPad
YOU’LL NEED
iPadOS 15.4
Being able to swipe from the corner of the screen to invoke the Quick Notes feature or take a screenshot has proven useful. All you need to do is swipe with your finger or Apple Pencil from the bottom-left or bottom-right corner and you can start writing and sketching, or begin editing a screenshot depending on which tool is set to appear. By default, in iPadOS 15, Quick Notes is invoked when you swipe from the right, and screenshots are taken when you swipe from the left. But what if you want them the other way around or you want just one of those features to appear from both sides? You may even want to turn the function off. With iPadOS 15.4 onwards, you can do all of this.
