Presumably your iPad is running iPadOS15.


Unlike iPadOS14 and earlier versions, multi-tasking cannot now be disabled from settings. Multi-tasking has received a significant overhaul, both simplifying its use and introducing new controls.


Key to accessing and controlling multi-tasking is the small “three-dot” button that is found at the top-centre edge of the screen.


More information about using multi-tasking can be found in this support page:

Hi alittledog, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.


I hope the information contained in the link above resolved your query.


However, to further provide a comment to your query it is not possible to turn off Slide Over or Multitasking as a whole, at this time.


Can I offer a suggestion to provide Apple with Feedback for future consideration as per the following link:
