6. 6 Turn iPad horizontally. The split view option only works when holding the device horizontally.
7. 7 Run the application. Select the app you want to share with another.
8. 8 Swipe left. Place your finger on the right side of the screen and slide it to the left. A tab will appear on the right.
9. 9 Move the tab to the left. Move it to the center of the screen to reduce the size of the running application. A vertical window with applications will appear in the newly created panel on the right.
   • If another application starts automatically in the right pane, swipe down from the top of the pane to close it and display the applications window.
10. 10 Scroll through the list of applications. To do this, swipe down until you see the second app you want to open.
    • Not all applications are compatible with the split view feature. Only programs compatible with this function will appear in the list of applications.
11. 11 Tap the app you want to open. This will launch this application on the right side of the split view window.
    • To change an app on the right side, swipe down from the top, then select a new app.
    • To close the split view, tap and hold the gray slider between the two screen areas, then drag it towards the app you want to close.
