Ipad Dock.

I only keep three icons on my iPad dock, but others keep appearing on it, even when I haven’t used the app.
They have what looks like an alarm clock symbol on them.
How can I stop this happening.
It’s a new iPad - it never happened on the old one.

The dock now shows functions which you’ve used recently.

By disabling the Suggested and Recent Apps feature in the Dock, those apps will be hidden and no longer appear in iPad Dock, this is a simple settings change:

Open the “Settings” app on iPad and go to “General” and then to “Multitasking & Dock”
Locate “Show Suggested and Recent Apps” and toggle OFF to hide the feature from the Dock on iPad.

HTH.

But I haven't used them! And I'm finding it a bit hit and miss trying to remove them from the dock.

Thanks, Jomlett.
I've just done it.
