Multitasking dots

iOS 15 introduced three dots at the top of the screen, to help with multi-tasking. Problem is, that’s where a number of other actions are controlled in different apps. Frustrating. How do I turn off the three dots?

iPhone X, iOS 15

Thx. Shame Apple didn’t think about this area clashing with other uses. Including their own apps! Never use multi-window multitasking so this is a redundant “upgrade” that’s creating problems for my wife, mother and myself. No fans of iOS 15 in this family.

Hi wwwheaten, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.


Whilst it is not possible to remove the Multi-tasking (dots) capability on an iPad, you could provide feedback to Apple for future update consideration as follows:
