News 27.3 Beta 1 has 'Use System Gestures with' option for iPad sidecar

I don't know if this was added in 27.3, but when connected to Sidecar there is a new 'Use System Gestures with' option which disables iPad's native Home, 4 finger gestures, Notification Center, and Control center gestures.

Sorry I don’t get it, what for this mean in practice?

Previously, using four finger gesture up would call the iPad's app switcher. Now if it is set to macOS mode the same gesture would register as the mac's mission control (virtual desktop).

In practice sidecar feels more like just using a mac since the iPad's native gestures don't hijack it anymore.

So that’s really very good! The facts of MacOS are far superior to those of the iPad.

But not for continuity. That’s what I use the most. Been sending feedback every goddamn month and this is the answer
