Split View / Slide Over on iPad

Updated: April 9, 2026

Not every app supports Split View. Games and some phone-only apps may only run full screen.

How to invoke

Open first app; swipe up slightly for Dock; drag second app icon to left or right edge.
For Slide Over, drag to the middle edge until a floating card appears.
With Stage Manager on, windowing rules change—try turning Stage Manager off temporarily.

Rotation issues? iPad won’t rotate. General iPad tips: multiple iPads.
