Why can’t I get split screen to work on my ipad pro 9.7”?

I have tried numerous times to get 2 apps to sho up in split screen. But it doesn’t work. I have an ipad Pro 9.7” and it won’t put 2 apps in equal halves of the screen. One app is always at least ⅔ of the screen while the other app is only ⅓ of the screen. I’ve tried to pull the edge of the ⅓ screen to move to ½ of the screen but nothing happens. There isn’t any place on the ⅓ screen to resize the screen on that app.

How to adjust Split View:

  • To give the apps equal space on the screen, drag the app divider to the center of the screen.
  • To turn a Split View into a Slide Over, swipe down from the top of the app.
  • To close Split View, drag the app divider over the app that you want to close.
