Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Multitasking and Dock in Settings

“Multitasking and Dock” is a feature missing from the settings on my iPad Pro.

It is not found under General nor is it under “Home screens and Dock”

Where is it?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

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.
