Disable split screen

I absolutely HATE the fact that you cannot disable the split screen option. When will Apple realize people want to have control over their iPad functions? My vision is impaired and I need to see the whole screen! It is the very reason I use my iPad and not my phone! I don’t need Big Brother deciding for me this is a new and improved function I must have. Please, please please, allow me the option to disable this dysfunction!

iPad Pro (2nd generation)

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. 


Apple do invite submission of comments and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal, this being the most appropriate channel though which to make your voice heard. For iPad and iPadOS:
