Use Split View
Split View works much like Slide
Over, but shows both apps all the time.
Follow the same process as for Slide
Over, but this time drag the icon to the
very left or right edge. The screen will
show your app icons side by side.Drag it out
Slide Over is great for quickly
checking documents or messages. To
use it, open the main app you want and
then slide up to see the Dock. Drag the
icon for the second app towards but
not onto the edge of the screen.Window swapping
If you open two instances of an
app in Split View, you can drag items
from one to another. Here we’re
dragging a Logic project from iCloud
Drive to Dropbox. To close one, drag
the divider to the edge of the screen.Adjust the split
See that thick divider between
the two apps? Drag it sideways to
change the proportions of the two
apps. We use this one a lot with PDFs
and documents that don’t automatically
resize to fit the app window.Drop the app
When you stop dragging, the
second app will appear in a panel at
the side of the screen. You can use it
like any other app. To move it, drag from
the top. To close it, swipe it off the side
of the screen, again from the top.See what’s running
Swipe upwards from the bottom
edge of the screen until the thumbnail
view appears. This shows your recently
opened apps, including Split View
pairings. You can also see this by
pinching anywhere with four fingers.See one app’s
windows
If you have multiple windows of one
app running, tap and hold on its icon
on the Dock, then Show All Windows.
This shows every instance of it, so you
can jump to the right one.The same app twice
You can have multiple versions
of the same app in Split View: two
Pages documents, two folders in Files,
two websites in Safari. Open the app as
normal, pull up the Dock, and drag the
app’s icon to the edge like usual.Slide Over switcher
To switch apps within the Slide
Over window, swipe up from the bottom
of it to see all apps you’ve used in Slide
Over recently and pick one to switch to
it. You can also swipe left or right at
the bottom of the window to switch.HOW TO Multitask in iPadOS
