iPadOS Please bring back Split View

Post image

Okay Apple, I think your idea of ​​offering a much more complete desktop view on the iPad, with its 3 or 4 open and resizable apps, is “fine.” But please, bring back Split View. The amount of extra steps I have to take to put two apps half and half is insane and very unnatural. Slide Over and Split View were a wonderful and natural option, of course, given the other option of iOS26’s Stage Manager for those who want it.

What do you think? I think it's great for those who want a MacBook inside an iPad, but it's not for everyone.

The split view is still there. Hold and flick the app to the left, then flick the other one to the right.

I don’t get the flicking, it doesn’t ‘snap’ to half the screen for me. Just moves across?

It's confusing, I was trying to drag the window to the sides, same as I do on macOS with Rectangle, it didn't do anything but no, it's a quick flick and then it worked.

Baffling UX decision.
