Extra Mail App Icon in Dock

Anyone know why I’m getting this extra Mail icon in my iPad dock?

Hello Voix.

If I understand your post correctly, you'd like to know why Mail is appearing on both the left and right side of the dock on your iPad. I'm happy to help.

The icon on the left is there becaues you've added the app to the dock as a favorite app. The icon on the right is there as a suggestion because you recently opened Mail  on the iPad or because Mail is open on your iPhone or Mac.

Use the Dock any time. With a swipe up from the bottom of the screen, the Dock is available while you’re using any app. And you can customize it with more of your favorite apps. Favorite apps appear on the left side of the Dock, and suggested apps—like ones you opened recently and ones open on your iPhone or Mac—are on the right side. See Switch between apps.

Work with more apps simultaneously. The Dock makes it easy to work with multiple apps at the same time. Drag an app out of the Dock to make a Slide Over, or drag it to the right or left edge of the screen to make a Split View. You can even work on one app in Slide Over, view two apps in Split View, and watch a movie or use FaceTime in Picture in Picture, all on the same screen. See Use multiple apps at the same time.

Let us know if that resolves this issue for you. 

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Take care.

Hi Voix. The right hand end of the dock shows recently opened apps that are not already in the dock. It also shows suggested apps, tagged with various icons as follows:

– clock – app frequently used at this time of day

– location arrow – app frequently used at this location

– device icon – app used in hand off

Your screenshot is the first I've seen of the last option. Apparently, you have Hand Off enabled, and you've done something with Mail on another device, iPhone maybe. Not sure what. Maybe you saved a draft?

Supposedly, you can disable Suggested Apps in Settings, but it seems it doesn't work at the moment.
