Hi, I do not like the multitasking dots on my iPad. I went to the settings to try to get rid of them, but there is no “multitasking” setting on my iPad 10.5 iOS 15.7. Can I only get rid of this setting in iOS 16? Please help. Thank you
iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi
Hi there Tcar995,
There would not be a way to disable multitasking in Settings on your iPad. Everything that you can do with multitasking is outlined in this article that you've already looked over: Use multitasking on your iPad
If this is something you'd like to see changed in the future, then we would encourage you to submit your feedback about this here: Feedback - iPad
Take care!
Unlike iPadOS14 and earlier versions, multi-tasking cannot now be disabled from settings. Multi-tasking has received significant overhaul though 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 screen.
More information about using multi-tasking can be found in this support page:

The iPad User Guide is also a rich source of information about using iPad and its many features. The Guide is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:
