The Dock on your iPad is just as handy as the one on your Mac. You can pop your most-used apps into that spot for quick and easy access all the time. Another great feature is having your recently-used apps in your Dock.

But for some, this is just too cluttered and may not always be so handy. For instance, just because you opened your Settings app to make a fast change, doesn’t mean you’re going to open it again soon. For these reasons, you can disable the feature.

This short tutorial shows you how to hide suggested and recent apps from the Dock on iPad.

Turn off suggested and recent apps in the Dock

Open your Settings app and then follow these simple steps.

1) Tap Multitasking & Dock.

2) Under Dock, turn off the toggle for Show Suggested and Recent Apps.
