For an iPad8 - no.


The new iPadOS16 Stage Manager feature is available for these models of iPad:


  • iPad Air (5th generation)
  • iPad Pro 11-inch (all generations)
  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later)

Move, resize, and organize windows with Stage Manager on iPad - Apple Support


Feature availability is usually limited by system hardware - CPU and available RAM being critical to some advanced functionality. Models supporting Stage Manager have an M2, M1 or A12X CPU (upon which the M-series CPUs are reportedly based) - with at least 8GB RAM.
