Can I exchange one or both split apps on my iPad?

Hi everyone,


I thanks for your attention and any advice you could give me. I did a bare research without finding the solution.


The question is if I can exchange one of the two, or both, split apps in an iPad.


Bests.

Key to accessing and controlling multi-tasking views is the small “three-dot” button that is found at the top-centre edge of each App Window. Tap the multitasking button at the top of the slide-over window to expose a menu - from which you can change the window view.


While you can't directly swap a split-view from left to right and vice versa, you can instead switch one of the two Apps to full screen - and then, re-select a split screen view, choosing a right or left split as you prefer.
