You don't
Why would Apple do that? I have a friend who has trouble using the interface without inadvertently swiping and then not being able to get herself out of the ensuing mess. This is anti-accessibility at its finest. Now she can't use anything Apple. What a waste.

Multi-tasking is a core feature of iPadOS 15. Unlike previous versions of iPadOS, multi-tasking cannot now be disabled.
Apple do invite constructive comments and feature requests via their product feedback portal:
I agree. They seem to think everyone has nimble fingers with tiny fingertips. Technology definitely not making life easier if every update frustrates the **** out of you and you need to spend ages to figure out, how/if some feature can be disabled.
I deal with people with brain injuries to help stem their cognitive decline. I have helped stroke victims gain cognitive function using the iPad. Now I don't know what to do because many of my clients are unable to master these swipe gestures. Forget Parkinson's patients they will NEVER be able to use these :features".
This just makes me sad. I wish technology was more inclusive and tech creators made suitable interfaces for people with disabilities. It just seems to be going the opposite way - ever expandning feature libraries and soon we will need to attend courses to learn to use the gadgets. I wonder how much of the possibilities an average user even uses. We have quite specific user profiles so it would make sense to be able to customize so that the user is fully comfortable and in control of the interface.
Not being able to turn multitasking off is extremely annoying and having removed it is an insult to the user. That plus very annoying bugs in Safari have me really regret having bought my first apple device. Android may be messy but it's not insulting the way Apple is ("we know better").
I’m blown away that this cannot be disabled. My son uses his iPad for communication and basic apps for school and this feature is so sensitive to his touch, we were doing great without it. It’s a cool feature don’t get me wrong but not great for everyone.
I filled out the form and gave my 2 cents. Thanks
Very insightful. Thanks for all that information about what I do.

If you read the “Apple recommended” response, you’ll find your answer.
Same sentiment here. Looking at Fire HD 10 Plus now.
