Multitasking button on smartphones to spy on you

It's that you have to constantly swipe it and there's no way to not have it save the snapshot.

I've worked in office environments before when people forget their phones, battery is low, Tmobile didn't get reception, etc.

Let's say, someone asks to borrow your phone, before it didn't matter on gingerbread, it only showed the apps you used after long pressing the home button. If you don't have the clear button on multitask (some do not) then you have to swipe away every screen, which can just look strange. It's not like you're gonna stand directly behind the person either. In a split second now they can see your phone history and before it wasn't like that. Even after you've logged out of paypal, it still shows the screen from when you were logged in. Nothing to do with them getting the password, it's that they can see your balance unless you swiped it away. Refusing to let someone borrow the phone if they need to would be sort of strange as well.

There's no way to turn this off on ios7 or any newer android platfrom beyond gingerbread. I only think there should be an option for it, but for whatever reason there is not. Also a waste of RAM and slows the phone down.
