| 20 Oct 2026, 8:17 PM | Hacker News | 5.0 | Apple broke an essential presentation feature of iPads
A blog post documents a regression in iPadOS 27: while AirPlaying to an external display, tapping any app other than the one presenting causes the external screen to mirror the entire iPad, exposing private notes and poll results to the audience. The author notes that returning to the presenting app behaves differently per app — GoodNotes restores presenter view, Keynote exits the presentation entirely, and PowerPoint lands in a limbo requiring a restart. The behavior had not changed as of October 19, 2026, including in the latest betas, and the author links a Mac Power Users episode from early September where the issue was raised. Why: If you demo or teach from an iPad over AirPlay, updating to iPadOS 27 can expose whatever is on screen mid-session — the concrete decision is to keep presentation iPads on iPadOS 26 or move demos to a Mac/wired capture until Apple changes the rule. Note this is a user report of a behavior change, not a confirmed fix timeline. |
