how do i turn off split screen/multi tasking? it seems like with latest software update, they got rid of this option.

My iPad software updated to iOS 15.4 and now I can’t figure out how to turn off multitasking/split screen. None of the suggestions when I Google apply to the new iPad configuration. I hate split screen, and it’s a pain to get rid of it constantly.

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.
