iPadOS 27.3 beta introduces a new setting that lets users double-tap the top of app windows to instantly resize them. This feature, found under Settings ⇾ Multitasking & Gestures, is especially useful for touch-based iPad users who find the traffic light controls or keyboard shortcuts inconvenient. Once enabled, double-tapping or double-clicking with a trackpad zooms the window to full screen; another tap restores its previous size.
The author, who uses the iPad Pro as a primary computer, praises this as a welcome refinement to iPadOS 27’s windowing system, which has had some quirks with moving or disappearing controls. The setting offers a quick, intuitive way to toggle full-screen mode without relying on keyboard shortcuts or the often frustrating traffic light buttons. The article ends by inviting readers to share whether they would enable this feature and why.
