Hi, not sure if this has been raised on this forum already. I'm on the latest iPadOS 26.1 release using 'Windows app' mode for resizing. I've noticed that when you try and close the app using the traditional method of swiping up, you should see all your other open apps of he same size displayed and you swipe away the background app that you want to close. However, there seems to be some apps, that when I do this, it doesn't resize into the same size as the other background apps and it takes up the whole screen rather than half its size where. An example of this is the photo's app. Is there a reason for some apps to be full size and some to be in the normal layout where you can see an app on the top half and bottom half?

Not sure if I'm explaining it very well, but hopefully someone will understand me.
 
With 'Windowed Apps' mode, swiping up from a windowed view and you should have on-screen *windowed app* windows showed up front, other background apps on the left.
