I've been able to do split screen a few times. But mostly I end up losing my original application. It seems some applications cannot exist in split screen (?) and don't bother to indicate that you will lose your existing layout?
I learned about long pressing the space bar less than a month ago. Apparently that has existed for years. Ugh. This thing is awful. Just plain awful.
- ihuman 7y agoIf an app doesn't support split screen, the screen won't split when you drag an app to the right (before your let go). It makes a different animation to show the new app will replace the running app.
- sixothree 7y agoThe problem is that it's just not responsive enough and the indication that my current app will go away is not clear enough.
- robocat 7y agoWhat's worse is that you can end up with multiple copies of the Safari app running. This is very confusing, and breaks the fundamental "tap Safari to open Safari" because it doesn't always open the correct one. Android avoids this. On Android another confusion is that swipe from edge no longer works because the split has no edge of the screen. I presume iPadOS has the same issue. The Android split screen functionality is also bloody hard to find (press ■, then tap app icon at top centre of each screen shot).
