Windowed app feature interfering with Amply

Known issues with OS 26 "Windowed App" feature

Written by Eric Fitz

With the release of iPad OS 26, Apple introduced a new Windowed App feature for the iPad. This can sometimes interfere with Amply’s scanning process, especially if the app is resized or rotated into a window instead of running full screen.

Simple fix

If you notice scanning interruptions and you are on iPad OS 26, the fix is simple: switch iPad back to Full Screen Apps mode.

Here’s how:

  1. Open System Settings

  2. Search for "Windowed" in the upper left

  3. Select Windowed Apps

  4. Choose Full Screen Apps

That’s it! Amply will run smoothly again.

What this is not a fix for

The windowed app setting is likely not a solution for questions like report PDF generation.
