Can the top three points be removed?

Can the top three points be removed? It's really annoying to touch them by mistake and can't click on the back.

Presumably your iPad is running iPadOS15.


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


Key to accessing and controlling (or avoiding) multi-tasking is the small “three-dot” button that is found at the top-centre edge of the screen. Visibility of this control is not configurable; the icon cannot be hidden from view.


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