Here we show you today How to fix the iPad split screen that does not work in the simplest way possible.


Nowadays it is a great advantage to see 2 applications simultaneously on the screen, with this option you can use social networks, chat, check email, listen to music or even watch a video broadcast.

As the name suggests, it splits your screen in two so you can view and use two apps at the same time. If you don't know how to use it or have an error with it, today we bring you a guide that will help you with all this:

How to Fix iPad Split-Screen Not Working


Initial Verification:


App Compatibility: Not all applications support Split-Screen mode. Ensure the apps you intend to use are compatible with this feature. You can find compatibility information within the App Store or by consulting Apple's support resources.


Screen Rotation Enabled: Split-Screen often necessitates switching between portrait and landscape orientations. Verify that your iPad's screen rotation (auto-rotate) is enabled. Access Control Center and locate the screen rotation lock icon. If enabled (orange icon), tap to unlock screen rotation.


Multitasking Feature Activation: Confirm that "Allow Multiple Apps" is toggled on within Settings > General > Multitasking & Dock. This setting is essential for Split-Screen functionality.

Utilizing the Dock for Split-Screen Launch:


If the above checks yield no issues, proceed with these steps:


Drag App from Dock: With a compatible app already open, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Dock. Hold and drag another compatible app icon from the Dock towards the right side of the screen until it snaps into a Split-Screen view.

Software Considerations:


Restart Your iPad: A simple restart can often resolve temporary software glitches that might be hindering Split-Screen functionality. Perform a standard restart following the procedure specific to your iPad model.


Install Latest iPadOS Version: Outdated software can sometimes cause compatibility issues. Back up your iPad and install the newest iPadOS version available (Settings > General > Software Update).

Advanced Troubleshooting (Data Loss Risk Involved):


Reset All Settings (Proceed with Caution): This option resets all device settings to factory defaults. It's strongly recommended to create a backup before proceeding (Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Backup). Navigate to Settings > General > Reset and select "Reset All Settings." Be aware that this action will erase all your customized settings.

Seeking Professional Assistance:


If none of the aforementioned solutions resolve the Split-Screen issue, contact Apple Support for further assistance. They have the expertise to provide more specialized troubleshooting guidance or escalate the problem for investigation.

Additional Tips:


The method for initiating Split-Screen mode might vary depending on your iPad model and iPadOS version. Consult Apple's support resources https://support.apple.com/en-us/102576 for specific instructions tailored to your device.


Apple's support resources can also provide more detailed troubleshooting steps if you require further assistance.


We hope that with these steps you can identify the cause of the split screen malfunction and restore this valuable feature on your iPad. If you are unsure about any procedure or have any outstanding questions, do not hesitate to contact Apple Support.
