Disable Split Screen

I’ve just updated to 15.1. There are a number of issues I have with Safari. The one that bugs me most is the Split Screen, I don’t need it, I don’t want it!


Question How do I COMPLETELY disable this feature

Split and Slide-over views are a feature of iPadOS multitasking - and cannot be disabled in iPadOS15.


Apple do invite constructive comments and feature requests via their product feedback portal:

To reiterate, multitasking is core element of iPadOS - and cannot be disabled.


While you can’t disable this functionality, you don’t have to use split or slide-over views at all. More information about using (and therefore avoiding use of) multi-tasking can be found in this support page:

The iPad User Guide is also a rich source of information about using iPad and its many features. The Guide is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:
