How to Split Screen Apps on iPad
Blog post from Esper
Apple's iPad has evolved from a "big iPhone" to a potential "laptop replacement" largely due to its multitasking capabilities, such as Split View and Slide Over, which allow users to run multiple apps simultaneously. Split View lets users display two apps side-by-side, while Slide Over provides a floating app window on top of another app. These features are available on various iPad models running iOS/iPadOS 9 and newer, and they enhance productivity by enabling users to easily switch between apps. Additionally, advanced users with iPads powered by Apple's M-series chips can utilize Stage Manager for a more desktop-like experience, allowing for the resizing and stacking of windows and the ability to run multiple apps on an external display. These multitasking functionalities significantly contribute to the iPad's versatility, making it a viable option for those seeking a multi-use device.
