Hello VAD,


When you switch to an app that has multiple windows open, the bottom of your iPad screen shows a shelf containing thumbnails of all the app's windows, as explained here: Use multitasking on your iPad - Apple Support. Is that what you are referring to? If so, this feature cannot be disabled.


You can certainly leave feedback on this functionality. No one is better qualified to provide feedback about Apple products and services than the people who use them. The following link will get you started: Product Feedback.


Let us know if we can help with anything else at all. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
