For starters, there’s a feature called split view, which enables you to display two app windows onscreen at the same time, with each app getting half the screen.

Launch the first app you want to use and then tap the app’s multitasking icon: the three dots in the top center of the app window (see Figure 2-6). This displays the multitasking menu, a version of which is pointed out in Figure 2-6. Tap the split view icon, and then tap the icon of other app you want onscreen. Now the second app is running side by side with your first app! Split view mode is shown in Figure 2-6. Drag the gray resizer bar between the two apps to resize them.

The split view feature works with Apple’s own apps and some third-party apps. If you don’t see the multitasking icon, it means the app doesn’t support split view.

In Safari, you have two ways to open in split view. The first way is to long-press a link on a web page, which opens several options, including a preview of the link. Tap the Open in Split View command to open the linked page in split view. The second way requires you to have at least two tabs open in the Safari app. You can then drag a tab to the left or right edge of the screen and release, and a new split view is created.

I bet you can think of all sorts of reasons to run two apps at the same time. Maybe you’re composing a message to a friend in the Mail app while scrolling through Safari in the smaller panel to find a place to have lunch. Or perhaps you’re sketching in one app while using a photo in another as a reference point.

When you’re finished with split view, tap the multitasking icon in the app you want to use and then tap the full screen icon.
