Is there any way to disable multitasking gesture on iPadOS 15? I can disable multitasking gesture in 'Setting > home screen and dock > multitasking' section on my iPad mini 5 running iPadOS 14. I really find it annoying when playing some games.
Is this a feature or bug? Will Apple add the multitasking option back in future releases?

Will Apple add a switch or an option to disable it in the future? I'm really annoyed and I really need disabling the gestures.
