After the update to iOS 11.1.2 on iPad, I noticed that Dock disappears from Home Screen, can be made visible with a swipe (Drag) from up to down, started from the bottom of the screen. That is, the same movement that I would normally do to make it visible Dock Bar in an application open on the iPad.
Initially, I thought it was a feature of the new iOS and that this "auto hide" can be disabled from Settings. Surprise! In "General" → "Multitasking & Dock"There is no option to prevent it automatic hiding a Dock in Home Screen.

From what I found, it is not a feature of iOS 11, but a bug that appeared after the latest iOS update. "Disable auto hide iPad's Dock in Home Screen".

Resolving the automatic disappearance a Dock from Home Screen, it can be solved very simply with a complete shutdown of the iPad and reopening. Press and hold the " / sleep"Then"slide to power off". After restarting, Dock will appear in Home Screen and it will only be withdrawn when you are in an application.

In our case, the problem arose on a iPad Mini 4 with iOS 11.1.2.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.

  1. Apple are only interested in the fickle, "I want the latest - better than you!" crowd – they spend without thinking and there are more of them. Whereas they used to have to compete with Microsoft, people simply buy what looks nice. Welcome to the future. Of course, as Sarah Connor says, "The future is not set in stone." and being fickle, they may decide that Apple isn't any 'fun' anymore and at that point, all the loyal Apple fans have moved to machines which are productive instead of just vapid. I can't wait...
