Exploring the Limitations of Split Screen Usage

Some phones may require you to enable developer settings in order to enable split screen mode. Additionally, some apps may not be compatible with the feature. If your phone supports split screen but you are still unable to use it, try checking if the app you are trying to use has an update available or contact the app’s developer for more information.

Enabling Split Screen on an iPad

To enable split screen on your iPad, you will need to ensure that you are running iOS 9 or later. To begin, open the app you would like to have on the left side of the screen. Then, tap the three dots at the top of the app and select ‘Open in Split View’. This will open a second app of your choice on the right side of the screen. Note that this feature is only avaiable on iPad Air 2 and later, iPad Pro and iPad mini 4 and later.

The Sidebar will slide out from the side of the canvas, and you can then drag it up or down before releasing your finger to place it into the most comfortable position for you. This feature works in both Left-hand and Right-hand interface modes.
