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

How do I disable splitscreen multitasking?

How do I disable splitscreen. I do not have “multitasking” in Settings under Home Screen/Docking.

I retired 2018 and had two computer screens & could have multiple screens open at same time.

I just want to see one whole screen devoted to what I am reading, playing or working. How do In

turn multiple screens?

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 (or avoiding) multi-tasking is the small “three-dot” button that is found at the top-centre edge of the screen.
