iPad 2nd gen with iOS 13 not displaying home bar for multi-tasking
iOS 13 has the nifty feature for swiping with multiple apps in split screen, but not showing home bar.
on my 2nd gen, 2018 iPad Pro. Ideas?

I found the answer in this video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN9ALKDu80s
at 5:50 , the app must be pulled into the middle of split screen and the the white home bar at actually displays at the bottom of the screen to allow for "slide over" apps! This must be a quirk for the 2nd gen. All the gestures work when you add the apps that way even for more old 2nd gen ipad.
I really appreciate your diligence in helping sort this out! Fun to find solutions to make it more effective.

Thank you, yes, it does appear in the settings. However, the left to right swipe on my 2nd gen (2018) ipad pro is not allowing the other apps I opened to show when I swipe. Just keeps the last one in split screen.
Hello,
You have an iPad Pro (2nd generation) from 2017. This iPad model does not have the Home Bar that the 2018 iPad Pro (3rd generation) has. Are you referring to iPad’s Dock? The Dock is the strip along the bottom of the Home Screen which can store applications for easy access.
Thank you for the year model, was not sure of that. Yes, the dock displays the apps from the bottom. I can drag an app to the right and get a split screen. I was referring to the small white line that is at the bottom of the screen allowing multiple apps on the split screen to be accessed with swipes in ios 13.
Perhaps, my elderly ipad does not support it.
While your iPad model does not display the Home Bar, you can still use Split View and Slide Over. All the gestures are the same, its just the newer iPad Pro models do not have a Home Button so there just a visual representation of a Home Bar on the screen. I too use an iPad Pro (2nd generation).

Thank you for the responses very much. In the first video sec:33 - adding apps to slide over, this is where my responses are different. I get the app from the bottom and can split screen. If I add a second and third, it just covers the last and having difficulty with the sec:44 swiping left doesn't want to show the other underlying apps. Then in sec:51... not responding like the video. Or at sec 1:07, the fan ...
So your 2nd gen ipad is allowing that?
Hello,
Correct, iPad Pro (2nd generation) does not contain a Home Bar since it still has a Home Button.
If you go to Settings>Home Screen & Dock, then to to Multitasking, what do you see? Are those settings turned on for Allow Multiple Apps?
Whoops, misses the 2nd Generation information!!
So, pressing the home button while swiping is supposed to invoke the same functions? If so, hold down, click?
