iPad and External Monitors

Hey,


I've been struggling to find a video that explains how to have the iPad connected to the external monitor.

BUT have the screens on two separate apps instead of having the external monitor copying the iPads actions.


(similar to having the Mac connect to an external monitor and being able to be on Word on the monitor and Chrome on the Mac)


Can anyone Help? :)

iPad, iOS 12

You can't.


The iPad has no support for extended desktop, only mirroring. So you get the same thing on both screens.


The best you can do, is use Split screen to have 2 apps on the same screen.
