## 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.
## Key takeaway

Apple's iPadOS 27 update breaks the ability to show presentations without revealing notes or polls to students.
