how to split screen on ipad

To split the screen on an iPad, follow these steps:

1. Open an app on your iPad.
2. Tap the three dots (the multitasking button) located at the top of the screen.
3. Select "Split View" from the options.
4. Choose a second app from your Home Screen or Dock to open alongside the first app.
5. The two apps will appear side by side in split screen mode.
6. You can adjust the size of each app by dragging the divider between them.
7. To switch apps on either side, swipe down on the three dots at the top of one app and select a different app from the Home Screen or Dock.

Another way is to swipe up the Dock, then drag an app icon to the left or right side of the screen to initiate split screen. Make sure that Split View is enabled in Settings > Multitasking & Gestures if it's not working. This feature is supported on iPad models running iPadOS 15 and later and works well for multitasking, such as copying and dragging items between apps or working on two documents simultaneously.
