Perhaps you have enabled a Slide Over or Split view.
You can easily manage and manipulate Split and Slide Over views on your iPad. To change a Split view to full screen, place your finger one the centre of the central divider (you’ll see a little grey drag bar) and drag the divider to the edge of the screen - then release; your split-screen view will become full-screen.
You can manipulate other screen views in a similar way. To transform a Slide Over view, to Split Screen, use the grey drag-bar at the top of the Slide Over Window; drag downwards and to towards the side of the screen. As the view changes, lift your finger.
You can also change a Slide Over to a Full Screen view. This time, using the same drag-bar, drag to the top-centre of the screen, then release.
