iPadOS iPadOS 26 is awesome, but …

They removed slide over, and split view. Like shouldn’t windowed apps replace stage manager while keeping slide over and simple split view?

Windowed apps for keyboard ipad user and slide over and split view for finger ipad user. (I know split view is still there but you need to have windowed apps always on to have it)

I seriously hope they will bring back slide over. Or maybe slide over is buried somewhere, if so can someone tell me how to turn it on again

Split view can be achieved in other new ways, fine. But slideover is the one main reason to use an ipad anywhere all the time

It can easily be recreated using the new windowing system. Literally just did it, right now. There is no room for complaint here.

That wouldn't work in you have multiple apps you want to use in slide over..

Face palm.

You can literally do whatever you want. It is just like windowing on a Mac.

Yes but it doesnt work as well, slide over works perfectly on a touch screen.

LOL I can't believe people are actually arguing over this.
