Edit: solved: it’s in the settings for iOS . Under gestures and split screen

Turn off splitview.

go to settings, multitasking and gestures and turn off splitview at the top.

Additional info? What browser/device/OS are you using?

OP doesn't know how use the three dots everyone!

Yea, that's a fucked up "feature" on iOS I will never use, too. No way to disable as far as I know.

And it gets in the way all the time.

Go to

Settings, multi tasking and gestures, then turn off split view. It's the top option.

If anyone can tell me how to get rid of the bar at the bottom, that would be nice. I don't need a taskbar or a line, it's a fucking tablet.

I takes a few millimetres of real estate, it sucks.

Edit: Android 12.

I would never want that bar gone (iOS here) but yeah there should be a way to hide it. It should default on for those that have a harder time with tech but at least give the option.

I am curious how 3 dots in the status bar are a “large problem” for you. Seems weird. If it’s getting in the way of your control panel or notifications, swipe further to the side.

Is that ipadOS with Safari/Chrome?

I'm not very familiar with the OS, but it it's Chrome, it's likely to be more customisable than if it's Safari or the OS. iOS is famously not customisable to the extent alternate OSs are.

To me, it looks like it's part of the titlebar, of the OS. You'll need to lookup if there's a way to remove that from the top bar of the iPad or whatever device you happen to be using - I've never seen it on any of the people I know with an iPad's devices.
