How to Split Screen on iPad

iPad has a feature named multitasking, which allows you to split screen iPad (the Split View mode), create a small floating window of an app (the Slide Over mode), or open a center window for an app (the Center Window mode).

Each mode has its functions, but the Split View mode is the one used by most people, which allows two apps to appear side-by-side. How to do split screen on iPad? You can use the following two simple methods. 

Way 1. Use Dock

Dock is the small bar of app icons at the bottom of the screen. The left side of the Dock shows fixed apps (you can add fixed apps by dragging apps to the Dock), while the right side of the Dock shows apps you recently used.

If you are not on the home page of the iPad, you can activate Dock by swiping up gently from the bottom of the screen. The Dock will float over the page. Don’t swipe up too hard, or you’ll just return to the home screen.

Then, follow the steps below to do split screen on the iPad:

  • Make sure that one of the apps you want to open is in your Dock. If not, please the app you want and then close it so it shows up in the right side of the Dock.
  • Start the other app that you want to use and keep it open.
  • Activate Dock, tap and hold the app in the Dock, and then drag it all the way to the right or left edge of your screen and release it. Please note that if you let go of the app in the middle of the screen, it will appear in a Slide Over window.
