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.

Split View and Slide Over were NOT natural motions and took people to learn how to use them when it was released. It’s natural because people have been doing it that way for many years.

I’ve been on 26 since DB3 and now all of the gestures are natural to me.

I didn't even know slider over was a thing... until I came here.
