Split screen not working for IPad Air 2

Can you give us some more details? What apps are you using, what kind of iPad do you have, etc?

Everyone, just to be clear because a lot of info online has not been: split screen (Apple calls it split view) only works on iOS 9, only on iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro, and only if the two apps you want to see side-by-side have *both* been updated to handle split view. So far only some of Apple's standard apps (Safari for one) and a few third party apps (like Microsoft Office Word, Excel, etc.) have been updated.

Having same issue on my IPad Air 2, gen 4. Installed IOS 9 successfully, unable to get screen view past 1/4 screen. Display bar for split screen does not display, plse see screens below. Did anyone find a solution? Not sure if IOS 9 needs to be real-installed, if so not sure how!

Settings does not support Split View. Both apps must support split view. Once you have slide over enabled (the app is covering 1/4 of the screen), put your finger on the left edge and pull from right to left again. Boom, black bar and split view. Again though, I reiterate that BOTH apps must support split view for it to work.

Side note, I do find it odd that Settings does not support it, but I also believe that is intentional and not a bug. Not sure of the reasoning though.

Safari was my main app, then I opened Calendar as in the example, was unable to get split screen working. Both Safari & Calendar do support split screen view. Also installed IOS 9.0.1 today, still unable to get the black bar to split screen.

ha ha after configuring how it'll work - if you're using Google make sure to always open it using safari and whoa I was able to split view in half.

as of now it could be that apple apps aren't compatible... The ebay had to be opened using safari...

Scenario: Safari is your open app. You slide over Calendar.

Did you then put your finger on the left edge of Calendar and swipe to the left (with slide over already enabled)?

I Used safari for this forum and I could drag the split view right in the middle... I'm using the updated iOS 9 of iPad Air 2.

iPad Air 1 here, so I know I can't get split view. However, slide over is supposed to work, and it *was* working great… until I tried it today. Now it doesn't work at all, no matter what app I'm in. If I slide from the middle of the right edge (which used to work), there's zero response. If I slide from the top or bottom edge, I get a little centered tab, as a cue for me to pull from the center. But it goes away after a moment.

I've tried toggling the Multitasking settings, and restarting the iPad. But slide over seems to have decided to stop working, all on its own.

I've tried everything that everyone has suggested and still no black line to do split screen. Any other thoughts? Perhaps I need to reinstall ? If so...how?

I have your exact same problem: cannot see the "handle" even if both apps should work with split view, have tried a restart, have checked that multitasking is selected in the setting, but no, cannot split view to work either on an iPad Air 2, iOS 9.01.

Grateful for any pointers, as this is very very annoying.

Afraid I can't help, Scamper, but I'm getting exactly the same here. It worked for a bit, and then it just stopped. I'm pretty sure this happened after I tried picture-in-picture for the first time. Like you, I just get the tab, and it can't be dragged inwards.

And the funny thing is that picture-in-picture still works. All the other iOS 9 features work, as far as I can tell. Just the one I find the most useful — slide over — stopped working. I wish I could remember what the last app was that I used in slide over. I wish I could do an equivalent of OS X’s “killall -KILL Dock”.

Thinking about it, mine stopped working after I installed updates to a bunch of third-party apps and tried using those. I think that's pretty telling…
