How do I turn multitasking?

i just want to turn off the slide over from the right.

Presumably your iPad is running iPadOS15.

Unlike iPadOS14 and earlier versions, multi-tasking cannot now be disabled from 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.

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:

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

I hope the information contained in the link above resolved your query.

However, to further provide a comment to your query it is not possible to turn off Slide Over or Multitasking as a whole, at this time.

Can I offer a suggestion to provide Apple with Feedback for future consideration as per the following link:
