Top-bottom split screen view on iPad

I am unable to use split screen vertically. This helps in watching any video on half screen and write notes on other half. Do you think this fix is coming soon.

iPad does not support split-view in Portrait screen orientation - and only side-by-side in Landscape.

Hi Sandykoppi, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.


Split Screen is an option in the Multitasking capabilities of an iPad and the following link explains this in more detail:

Although some apps do not support Split Screen and in regards to Video's although my Apple TV app, Youtube and Disney+ can be used in Split Screen, my Netflix does not.


Nevertheless, whilst not perfect, for those apps that do not support Split View, I can use Slide Over to take notes and hide the notes to one side when not needed, again Slide Over is also explained in the above link.


9to5Mac has also posted a Video with 50+ iPad Multitasking Tips that may be of interest and the link is as follows:

Incidentally, Multitasking also works in Portrait mode albeit not as well.


I hope some of the above information helps.
