Why am I unable to have a browser window and photos open side by side in split screen? It works with 2 browser windows, but not with browser and photos. I use the split screen button to put the browser window on the right, then used the split screen to put photos on the left, but they won't both stay open.
Mac mini, macOS 15.1
I don't do this split screen very much, but I tried it, and it seemed to work:
I followed the directions, here:
Use apps in Split View on Mac - Apple Support
I'm using an M3 MacBook with 15.1.1. I used the Green Button>Full Screen>Left to put the browser on the left. That showed open apps on the right, and I picked Photos.
But here's what I did wrong the second time I tried it: I've now discovered that the only apps listed for making the right side were apps that were not already full screen. The second time I tried the split thing, I already had Photos in Full Screen, so Photos wasn't listed for the right.
Could this be it? Let us know-- I'm curious…
