Updated iOS 11 and the split view multitasking doesn’t work, i’ve Got the 2nd generation pro 12.9
I drag an icon and it doesn’t get “long” like shown in the videos and the split view multitasking doesn’t open the app on the left or right, just goes back to the dock
iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 11

It's called a hard reset.
Apple doesn't like the term "hard" reset.
They prefer to call it a "soft" reset. Like you're petting a bunny, or something!
Same idea that Apple doesn't use the term "thick" to describe their mobile devices' depth dimension.
They like using the term "thin", instead.
An iPhone 7 is 7.1mm "thin"!

Are you doing the multitasking correctly?
The procedures for doing multitasking have changed in iOS 11.

A reset cleared it up For me. But it did not works at first
IPad Users Guide for iOS 11 here.
The iOS11 Guide states specifically via hypertext linked note that Split View is supported on “iPad Air and later”.
This works for slide over but I can’t get split view. If I drag the app to the left, nothing happens. If I drag it to the right I get slide over. Also, slide over doesn’t work wth all apps. I have a second generation ipad mini.
What about the feature in ios10 that allowed you to minimize a video and have it float over a second app. You could drag it to various places. I can’t fine the little arrow that allowed this in ios11. Is it still available? If so, how? Thanks,
Yes, I finally found that down arrow on SOME but not all videos. But I found I could click on the home button and the video would minimize. I don’t know why the little arrow isn’t on some of the videos where it was in ios10. Biggest gripe is Apple still doesn’t have a guide for using iOS 11 and the communities support still doesn’t list ios11.
Yes I agree with you that it would be helpful to have an iOS 11 support community added. I’m finding it helpful to learn from other people‘s exploration (such as now when I run into the issue of no TV iconify icon, I’ll know to click the home button). I wish I didn’t have to wade through questions on everything else since the iOS 11 questions are all mixed in.
After spending over 2 hours with 3 different apple support advisors and doing a complete restore, I found out split view doesnt work on a mini 2!!!!!
Somebody couldnt have told me this before???
and whats with the flaky text editing in this chat? No automatic capitalization, correction etc.
Not impressed.
Split View does NOT work on the 1st gen iPad Air.
It was never an iOS feature on the 1st gen iPad Air. Only Slide Over.
The only iPads that can do Split View multitasking is the iPad Pro models, iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 4.
If Apple had a forum for every iOS version, things would get pretty confusing, repetitive and chaotic.
iOS pretty much works the same on a basic level.
We have had 10 versions of iOS.
Only features changed. A lot of the same, repetitive iOS questions would be needlessly asked and replied to over and over, again, in the scenario of having individual iOS version support community forums causing a lot more work and confusion for everyone who's involved here.
They grouped Slide Over, Split View and Picture In Picture into one big group.
My mom has a 1st gen iPad Air and it, definitely, does NOT DO split screen view multitasking , at all.
Slide Over only.
OS 9 introduced the Split view multitasking mode.
If it wasn't available to certain iPads in iOS 9 or 10, it's NOT available in iOS 11!
Except from the iPad Users guides from iOS 9.3 and iOS 10.
“Split View
Keep two apps open and active at the same time (iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4).”

The ONLY place split view MAY work is when you have Safari open.
Apple implemented split screen multitasking view in Safari, so users can have two Safari web browser windows open at the same time
The iPad 5th gen can only do the Split screen view from within Safari
It can't split screen view with any other apps other than Safari
Perhaps the 1st gen iPad Air and other iPad Mini models CAN do split screen view from within Safari.
But do any other split screen view multitasking with any other apps, no.
I am the one who does all Apple and iDevice maintenance in my family and my mom's 1st gen iPad Air cannot do split screen multitasking with any other apps. Just does the smaller Slide Over view.
Hey,
If you think you get split screen view to work on a 1st gen iPad Air, then let me know.
Once Apple denies certain features on an iDevice, it doesn't change, especially since we have already gone through 2 iterations of iOS with certain, newer iPad model feature limitations.
My iPad 2 STILL doesn't have Siri voice commands, iPad 2, 3, 4 AND 1st gen Mini never got ANY of the cool and useful multitasking stuff.
It's the same across the board with all other iPad models, too!
The 1st gen iPad Air, iPad Mini 2 and 3 all get the Slide Over view, but no Split screen view.
It is what it is.
I'm just the messenger...
