iPad Pro external display

i have bought an iPad Pro 11 inch 3rd generation and wondering how to connect it to a external monitor and get use of stage manager on iOS 16.


I have an HDMI & hub as well but when I connected to the display it’s only mirroring & the arrangement tap is not existing .


when I went to one of the Apple resellers they told me that I can’t use this feature since iPad does not support it.

If choosing a USB-C hub, you would be best advised to choose a hub with specifications that explicitly state compatibility with iPad.


Some USB-C hubs not all well suited for iPad. Some may only partially work, some may not work at all. Hubs that state suitability for iPad are more likely to offer trouble-free operation.


Whichever hub you choose, ensure that at least one port supports USB PD (Power Delivery) pass-through - as this port is used to provide power for both the hub and charging of the connected iPad. Hubs can incorporate a combination of additional USB-C ports, USB 2.0/3.1 Type-A ports, Ethernet LAN, HDMI, VGA, SD and microSD card-readers.


Perhaps consider Kingston, Anker, Hyperdrive and Satechi - although there are many others from which to choose. A Google Search for USB-C Hubs compatible with iPad will find a number of articles and recommendations. 


Speaking of personal experience, the Kingston Nucleum has proven itself to be particularly flexible - featuring twin USB3.1 Type-A, downstream USB-C and SD/microSD card slots, HDMI, plus a power pass-through USB-C PD port that can accept +45W from a suitable USB power source.


If looking for an HDMI Adapter, be aware that very few USB-C HDMI adapters/hubs support HDCP - absence of which will inhibit the ability to output copy-protected HD media content from iPad to a connected monitor/TV over an HDMI connection. 


The Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter does support HDCP 2.0, but lacks some of the additional the flexibility afforded by some third-party USB-C hubs:
