Fortunately, Apple has given us a way to disable this option.  However, keep in mind, that you may not be able to do proper multitasking when disabling this option.  With that said, here’s how to disable it:

1. Go to SETTINGS > GENERAL > MULTITASKING.
2. Choose MULTITASKING.
3. Flip the ALLOW MULTITASKING APPS to OFF.
4. That’s it.
