If your phone does not have multi-window toggle, use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nerd.multiwindowtoggle
Download this app to get a quick setting toggle to turn it off https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nerd.multiwindowtoggle&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dsamsung+multi+window+toggle&pcampaignid=APPU_1_J2b0Vay5H4Xr-QHUqJHADQ
If you swipe straight down rather than diagonally it wont happen.
This comes up if you do a Google search for "disable samsung s6 split screen"

Actually I just found a non root fix
An XDA user editted this app so that it would make the mobile data toggle show up, I just installed it and it works for me. I know it seems sketch as hell to be installing random apks, but it worked for the other users in that thread as well.
You do not have to keep it installed, you can just apply the setting, uninstall, and delete the apk. Setting persists after restarts as well.
Firstly, I can help with one. You can disable the multi-view with MultiWindow Toggle for Samsung. It readds the toggle to your notification screen.
My current list of quirks are as follows (T-Mobile variant). These are from my post on XDA:
When sharing an image from a gallery, it prompts me to either send to an Existing Contact or new contact. So Samsung makes the first app chosen when opening a new file or link the default app automatically (one of the quirks I don't necessarily prefer, but I can live with), but then add this?
Cant share an image from gallery to someone not in contact list without adding them as a contact first. To get around you have to compose a new message in messages and then attach file.
When in the messenger, tapping the paperclip to select an image attach from your gallery automatically sends the message. You can only select "Send", there is no attach option. Composing text before attaching does nothing and the picture is sent and your text stays in the text box. ATT variant has a "done" option.
Opening a URL in messenger prompts you with a "the internet is scary" message warning you of URL dangers.
Caller ID contact images for outgoing or connected calls are tiny.
Five variants of the Note device, and the dialer is still locked in portrait mode.
If i"m doing something, incoming calls show up as a pop up card with a double ended arrow to expand it. I can live with it, but i'd prefer full screen.
PayPal fingerprint support gone (though not entirely Samsung's fault).
All of these things on their own are not problems. The inability to change or customer is. It feels like Apple assimilation to me. :(
Edit: Lack of always-on capacitive button lights were an annoyance I had, but I used Galaxy Button Lights to solve that.
hell yeah! now I can hold the app switch button and it'll pop back to the last window. I also had to disable the multi window function via the play store app so it didn't yell at me each time. Fine with me, I hated that feature anyway.
Considering this exists
I don't see why a downloadable toggle for flashlight is so difficult to find, but I can't seem to find one! interesting.
It was getting pretty annoying accidentally triggering Multi Window on my Galaxy S6 with no option to disable it in the setting but thankfully I found this app that adds the option to disable it.
Now I'm left with a button I can't long press to open up the menu, but at least I don't have multi window anymore.
Use this app or a similar one to add a multiwindow toggle in your notifications drawer so you can enable/disable it whenever you want to.
Here is an app to get a quick settings toggle to turn this feature off
On the S6 the feature can accidentally be invoked when trying to swipe down the notification bar. With single handed (right hand) phone use I was triggering it 30% of the time I was swiping the bar down. It was very annoying. In previous devices Samsung had a way of disabling the feature but neglected to include the switch in the S6 UI. It is possible to turn if off through third party utilities. See "MultiWindow Toggle for Samsung" on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nerd.multiwindowtoggle
On other Galaxy devices there is a Quick Toggle to turn the MultiWindow feature off/on. The ability to control the feature is still in the S6 however it is not exposed in the user interface. I wrote a small application that can either enable/disable MultiWindow or bring back the MultiWindow Quick Toggle. It was primarily written for the Galaxy S6 however it should work on most of the devices that include Samsung's MultiWindow. You can find it on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nerd.multiwindowtoggle

Glad to hear that you found it. Sorry for being late with my response: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nerd.multiwindowtoggle&hl=de
Have you installed this by chance?. It's the only way I know to actually disable it.
I got an app to disable it. I use this
Which one is what? The multi window toggle app? It's here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nerd.multiwindowtoggle
I think that "MultiWindow Toggle" should be able to disable it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nerd.multiwindowtoggle
