Hello,
I am on iOS 16.1.1. This split screen feature is a disaster. Whenever I accidentally enter it I don’t know how to exit it and I have to close all the applications. I never need it, I don’t know how to get rid of it. Is there a way to disable this usability bug altogether?
I saw some older threads about this but no solution.
Thank you.
Unlike iPadOS14 and earlier versions, multi-tasking (including split-screen and slide-over views) cannot now be disabled from settings. Multi-tasking has received a significant overhaul with iPadOS15/16, 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 visible App windows.
Information and guidance for using multi-tasking can be found in this support page:
