How to Get Rid of Split Screen on iPad

Split screen on iPad can be a helpful feature, especially when multitasking. However, there may be times when you want to get rid of split screen and return to using your iPad in its full-screen mode. Here are some steps to follow to get rid of split screen on iPad:

1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Dock.
2. Find the app that you want to close in split screen mode.
3. Touch and hold the app icon until a menu appears.
4. Select “Remove from Split View” from the menu.
5. The app will now return to its full-screen mode, and the other app that was open in split screen will disappear.

It’s important to note that this process only removes the app from split screen mode. If you want to disable split screen on your iPad altogether, you’ll need to follow a different set of steps, which we’ll cover in the next section.

How to Disable Split Screen on iPads Running iOS

If you’ve found that split screen on your iPad is causing more hassle than it’s worth, you may want to disable the feature altogether. Here’s how to disable split screen on iPads running iOS:

1. Open the “Settings” app on your iPad.
2. Scroll down and tap “Home Screen & Dock.”
3. Turn off the “Multitasking” option.
4. This will disable split screen on your iPad, and you won’t be able to use the feature until you turn it back on.

It’s important to note that disabling multitasking will also remove the ability to use slide over and picture in picture features on your iPad. If you want to use those features in the future, you’ll need to turn multitasking back on.

Keep in mind that the process for disabling split screen may vary depending on the version of iOS you have on your iPad. If you’re having trouble finding the “Multitasking” option in your settings, try searching for it in the search bar at the top of the Settings app.

How to Exit Split Screen on the iPad in Safari

Split screen mode on the iPad can be convenient for multitasking, but it can also be a bit confusing if you’re not used to it. If you’re using Safari in split screen mode and want to exit, here’s how to do it:

1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Dock.
2. Touch and hold the app icon for Safari that’s currently in split screen mode.

1. Touch and hold the small tab icon at the top of the Safari window.
2. Drag the tab down to the bottom of the screen.
3. This will close the tab and automatically exit split screen mode.

Alternatively, if you only have one tab open in Safari while in split screen mode, you can simply close the tab to exit split screen mode.

In some cases, you may encounter a small floating window on your iPad while in split screen mode. If you want to close this window, follow these steps:

1. Touch and hold the small floating window.
2. Drag the window to the right or left side of the screen until it disappears.
3. This will close the small floating window and return your iPad to its full-screen mode.

How to Close a Small Floating Window on iPad

When using split screen mode on your iPad, you may encounter a small floating window that can be a bit confusing to deal with. This window can be moved around the screen and may obstruct your view, so it’s important to know how to close it when you no longer need it. Here’s how to close a small floating window on your iPad:

1. Touch and hold the small floating window with your finger.
2. Drag the window to the right or left side of the screen until it disappears.
3. This will close the small floating window and return your iPad to its full-screen mode.

If you have trouble dragging the small floating window off the screen, try swiping up from the bottom of the screen to open the Dock. From there, you can touch and hold the app icon for the app that’s currently in split screen mode, and select “Merge All Windows” from the menu. This will merge all of your open windows in that app and return it to full-screen mode.

It’s important to note that not all apps support split screen mode, so you may not encounter a small floating window in every app. Additionally, not all iPad models support split screen mode, so it’s important to check your iPad’s user manual or Apple’s website to see if your model supports the feature.

How to Use Split Screen on iPad

Split screen mode on the iPad is a useful feature that allows you to view two apps side-by-side on the same screen. This can be especially helpful if you’re working on multiple tasks at once or want to reference information from one app while using another. Here’s how to use split screen mode on your iPad:

1. Open the first app you want to use in split screen mode.
2. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Dock.
3. Touch and hold the app icon for the second app you want to use in split screen mode.
4. Drag the second app icon to the left or right side of the screen, depending on where you want it to appear.
5. Release your finger to open the second app in split screen mode.
6. Adjust the size of each app window by dragging the divider between the two apps left or right.
7. To exit split screen mode, touch and hold the app icon for one of the apps that’s currently in split screen mode.
8. Select “Merge All Windows” from the menu to return to full-screen mode.

It’s important to note that not all apps support split screen mode, so you may not be able to use every app in this mode. Additionally, not all iPad models support split screen mode, so it’s important to check your iPad’s user manual or Apple’s website to see if your model supports the feature.

In some cases, you may encounter a small floating window while using split screen mode. This window can be moved around the screen and may obstruct your view, but it can easily be closed by touching and holding the window and dragging it to the right or left side of the screen until it disappears.
