When is Apple going to let users disable split screen. I am tired of having split screen dots in the middle of the top screen. When I need to click on a browser tab top open it most of the time it opens a new split screen browser panel. You should not have to be subjected to this . It is difficult for elderly and disabled to hit the tabs exactly in one pinpoint area. The space between the 3 dots and the tabs are less than the width if a finger.

Due to the multitasking button being centrally located at the very top edge of your iPd screen, a central tap on the search bar can accidentally trigger the multitasking function. As this text is centre-justified within this input field, you are subconsciously attracted to the centre - where the touch zone for the multitasking button is located.
In many Apps that have a Search bar (such as Safari and many others), the entire URL field is a “hot zone”. Just tap anywhere in the visible field (not just the visible text). Armed with this knowledge - and admittedly a little deliberate and conscious practice - you will quickly become accustomed to a slightly different way of using your Apps - a avoiding the problem of which you and others complain. A new “habit” will emerge - and become your new sub-conscious behaviour.
Once you understand what’s going on - and understand your “learned habits” - most of your difficulties with this feature will evaporate.

No one here knows when Apple will release, modify or discontinue any given feature(s). What you can do is suggest this feature directly to Apple by leaving a product feedback here 👉 Product Feedback - Apple

I agree! For example when I’m on Twitter and I want to tap the search button it’s right below those three dots so I keep accidentally tapping on the dots instead 😡
