Multitasking

I do not have a multi tasking button in my settings on my new iPhone or iPad. It is not appear under home screen the way previous answers have said it has been changed to it does not appear anywhere in general. How can I get rid of the multitasking feature. Nowhere do I have anything that says “allow multiple apps” that I can uncheck.

iPhone doesn’t support the multitasking interface that you’ll find in iPadOS.


Unlike iPadOS14 and earlier versions, multi-tasking cannot now be disabled (or explicitly enabled) from iPad settings. Multi-tasking has received a significant overhaul, both simplifying its use and introducing new controls.


Key to accessing and controlling multi-tasking is the small “three-dot” button that is found at the top-centre edge of the screen.
