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.
