Recents Showing up on Screen

[skycarp]

On my iPhone 5 and iPad2 I have 5 Recents showing on my screen. These are from the most recent contacts I have communicated with either through phone or text. I am running ios 8.0.2. How do I get rid of these avatars?

Turn them off in Settings - Mails, Contacts, Calendars - Contacts - Show In App Switcher.
