Is there any way to turn off some gestures in IOS 15 on the iPad? I care for people with medical conditions and learning difficulties, and the iPad is almost unusable since they made the multitasking compulsory. In particular I want to disable split screen, swiping up for the dock and swiping between apps. Thank you!
Multitasking settings - previously accessed from iPadOS14 Home Screen & Dock Settings - are not present in iPadOS15.0. Multitasking features and gestures cannot be disabled.
Apple do invite constructive feedback and feature requests via their product feedback pages:
Perhaps consider Guided Access - as in this mode you can effectively lock an iPad in a single App mode. While this is perhaps more restrictive than you would prefer, it may provide a viable workaround:
Use Guided Access on iPad - Apple Support
Use Guided Access with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Hello Turbulent5,
You can use the following link to provide your feedback on the options available for adjusting multitasking features on iPad: Feedback - iPad - Apple That is the best way to pass along your feedback.
Take care.
Thank you for this, feedback left.
Thank you, I tried the Guided Access but it made the apps we were trying to use unsuable, sadly. I've left feedback, fingers crossed for optional gestures in future.
Disable iPad gestures option
