DIsable multitasking gesture

Is there any way to disable multitasking gesture on iPadOS 15? I can disable multitasking gesture in 'Setting > home screen and dock > multitasking' section on my iPad mini 5 running iPadOS 14. I really find it annoying when playing some games.


Is this a feature or bug? Will Apple add the multitasking option back in future releases?

Multitasking settings - previously accessed from iPadOS14 Home Screen & Dock Settings - are not present in iPadOS15.0. Multitasking features and gestures cannot be disabled.

As already outlined, Apple have removed the ability to disable iPadOS multi-tasking features.


None of the contributors here have any insight into Apple’s development or plans for future software releases - and the Terms of Use that govern participation within the Apple Support Communities disallows any form of speculation.
