As someone who does product design for a living and has used an iPad for almost 10 years now, I still get so confused with the Slide Over multitasking. There's no discoverability at all for this. You have to read the manual and memorize the gestures. Absolutely mind-blowing that they've made something this confusing. I know when people say "it's like they don't even use their products" it is usually hyperbolic, but I don't know how they can explain the seemingly random continual prompting of Apple/iCloud login on OS X I see a few times a year.

It's a nightmare as well if you're trying to multitask an app that isn't in your dock. Often I'll have to do this dance of tap home, open the app I want on the side, it opens full screen switch back to that app and then drag it GENTLY to the place I want.

  You used to be able to start dragging an icon from the home screen, use your other hand to open another app, then drop the dragged app over it to start split screen, but they nerfed it in iOS 13 for some reason. Completely undiscoverable of course, but at least it sped things up slightly. Having to open the second app full screen and then drag the other out of the dock's "recent" segment is just so clunky. You can also drag an icon out of the search UI when you're in another app, but only if you have a keyboard attached, because other than Cmd+Space there's no longer a way to access Spotlight without going back to the home screen. Absolutely bonkers.

    Even this way to open second app from the Spotlight start working only on the iPadOS 13.2.3. It was completely broken in previous releases as bad as dragging apps from the folders in the Dock.

I assume they all have their cards info entered in the settings, however my debit card got stolen and I'm stuck with a temp card so I have decided to avoid this. I keep getting prompted to finish setting up my iphone. Sorry, but linking my card isn't part of setting up an iphone please leave me alone.

Or that bug with Mac Keyboard Shortcuts[1]. I don't know how to explain something like that other than, no one working at Apple right now actually uses the custom keyboard shortcuts feature.
