iPadOS 27 breaks presenter view
Apple's latest iPadOS update disrupts the ability to show presentations without revealing notes or polls to students.
Problem with multiple windows
Tapping outside the presenting app shows all iPad windows on external screens, exposing notes and poll results.
Impact on teaching
Students see notes on who to call and poll results before they're revealed, causing distraction and embarrassment.
Apple's solution
Apple changed from a confusing swipe method to letting the most recently tapped app control the external display.
Teacher's request
Teachers want apps in presenter mode to always take priority on external displays until stopped or closed.
The key point
Apple's iPadOS 27 update breaks the ability to show presentations without revealing notes or polls to students.
